Pretty sure they are all similar in terms of difficulty, and you can probably tell looking at the notes and the key....start with c major one...

Many years ago a cat named Bernhard graded them here:

He also assigned grades to the two-part inventions, french suites, and others..

I'd say play the one you love the most.  I'm working on no. 11 in G minor for my first one. The D major (no.3) also appealed to me and doesn't seem too difficult.  Let us know which one you decide on.
