Choosing among the Alsace preliminary designs

Which of the Alsace preliminary designs was most likely to be chosen?

Design three is favored from memory, especially its three quadruple-turret arrangement, while smaller differences beyond armament remain uncertain.

Alsace design one used nine 15-inch guns in three triple turrets. Design two kept the general layout while moving to 16-inch weapons. Design three instead carried three quadruple turrets, with two forward and one aft, and was recalled as the selected direction. That conclusion was explicitly offered from memory, with smaller differences beyond the armament left unresolved.
