Definitely this.
- It's not too high-maintenance
- professional and artsy looking
- yet youthful and vibrant.
This is what I call the real cool.
It doesn't look as 'rebellious' or 'punkish' like the other two. I don't mean to be rigidly conventional, but a rebellious/punkish haircut doesn't do much for me, unless for show. Doesn't give a very good impression, in my opinion - unlike the one above. This one gives a good vibe. It also envelopes your face nicely, and I like the idea of some wave in the haircut. You have nice dark hair, so I wouldn't exactly recommend you to dye it the way those other two guys did.

Also, this haircut suits almost every facial shape.
I suggest you print out a similar picture - preferably showing the haircut from the front and side and bring it to your hairstylist. Ask if there should be any modifications to suit you better. In my opinion getting a professional advice is still a necessary step to go through.
All the best in getting a good haircut. ^__~
