Hey Forrest,
I'm kinda partial to 1, 3, 5, and 8. But, if I had to choose one, it would probably be 1.
A cool idea would be to have the headers rotate with every page refresh. Just an idea.
I suggest increasing contrast to make the font easily readable, as well as keeping consistency.
Alternative, use the graphic without the font and simply have the font as a heading above the graphic.

Yeah #1 and #3 are definetly nicer than the others and more apealing to the eye. Sounds silly but anything that looks good and re-enforces your sites content will be a winner
