Glassware advice - Which glass is the BEST?

I've been drinking whiskey out of a stout glass for the past ten months and I've enjoyed it. I was thinking about buying some Glencairn glasses but they seem to have a narrow mouth/opening. I like the wide mouth/opening glasses since I have more flexibility with various types of highballs AND they are easier to clean.

Any tips on whether I need to get glencairn glasses or other whiskey drinking options. I lined up my top five glasses that I accumulated over the past twenty years of beer/wine drinking. I've decided that #3 might be the best option due to the wide mouth and wide base for easier cleaning. I have a set of stainless steel stemless wine glasses that are similar to #3 and I might use those for lower risk of breakage. My only beef with the stainless steel glasses is that I don't get to see my drink but they usually don't last too long. Which glasses would be the BEST for highballs or neat whiskey?
