My preference from most preferred to least is: 4, 6, 5, 3, 7, 1, 2

But I think it depends on the rest of the face and what you’re trying to evoke more than what I think about noses in isolation.

All look best, depending on the context.

This nose is neither bad nor wrong.

From what I've read, a lot of panel comic artists choose the simpler for ease of repeatability as they often produce daily comics. While comic books are far more detailed because the art is a big part of the value, and they are produced less frequently.

I know this is not helpful, but they’re all decent clearly noses, and would make sense on different characters all in the same illustrations.

That is to say, they look good, and they look like they’re all part of a cohesive whole, you could use any and it would look good.

I prefer 7 and 5, don't really like 1 or 2, but as the other comment said it really depends on what you're trying to convey with the face.

Composition is about context. Noses don't usually exist in isolation.

They all look good. Just depends on what shape you want the person's nose to be.

This looks like a step-by-step drawing guide for the final result of 7 😆

I personally like 7 the best. To me it gives off an air of superiority.
