the images are too small for me to tell which one I would prefer to see in a 
schematic. I would need to see them in context.

All I ask is that if someone is going to mess around with the symbol for one 
of the more commonly used schematic symbols that you keep the same size and 
position of the pins. This will avoid breaking existing schematics. The last 
time someone changed the R symbol it was made narrower and the two pins of 
the part no longer extended out far enough to meet up with the wires on my 
schematics. I had to adjust all the wires going to a resistor to reconnect them.
