Lazy. Personally I don't like any of them, of the 3 I would take the third.

ok I am going to play the dumb american here as I know about zilch on the Harrier. why such a steep ramp on the small carrier in the first pic ? understand it can make a vertical to ground landing but ...........

The 'Ski jump' is to help it in normal takeoff as the carriers have no catapaults. That is how I see it anyway.

yes that's the Ski-jump, angled up by 15 degrees it allows the harrier to start it's take off roll from just before the start of the ramp and, from a standing start, without the need for a catapult, the harrier can take off in a very short distance without having to take off vertically which limits payload, when the harrier wants to land he'll fly up along side the ship, come to starboard until she's over the deck, and hover down vertically for a much safer landing than the conventional hook and runway method..........

Out of the three I'd probably go with the 3rd one.
