We recently moved to a new house. I'm thinking of upgrading the
bathroom, but cannot decide on the toilet that would look best and yet
have some comfort. These are the ones I'm considering.

Bingo.
Plus, what's easiest to clean? What doesn't look too bad
if maintenance isn't perfect? #6?

That's for sure. My brother had been satisfied with a luxury house
built in the 60's or 70's, but his wife wanted something glamorous, and
even then she remodeled it. My SIL doesn't have the sense G-d gave a
billygoat when it comes to spending money. And she put in every
bathroom some fancy European looking toilet and EVERY time I used it, it
was dirty afterwards. I didn't have diarrhea or anything, but the water
area was tiny, so everything landed on the porcelain and made it dirty.

I otoh have standard Elgin toilets with a big pond in the bottom so
everything lands in the water and after I flush, the toilet is as clean
as when it was new.

If I were in my brother's shoes I would have taken my loss, taken out
the stupid toilets and put in standard ones.

The SIL also added a room to the 2nd floor** in which she put literally
20 pieces of exercise equipment, none of which she ever used. And it
shows. My brother, who has been thin all his life, used 2 or 3 of them
on occasion. But a whole room!!! She does go into business herself
but always loses money.

**At least it sat on a room that already existed on the first floor, but
it still must have cost plenty to add a room, for exercise equipment she
never used. And all one needs is one or two pieces, not 20.

Never makes airline reservations in advance, so she pays full dollar on
those. .

That was the bidet, you ignorant ****.

Speaking of bathrooms, ours has what is called a water closet. Inside is
the toilet. I think that is the wrong name. If you want a drink of
water, do you go there for it? No. If you want a pot of water for the
stove, do you go to the water closet? No, you go to the sink.

With the truth in advertising laws, it seems to me that the proper name
should be more honest, like the **** Shack. Pee Place. Poop Palace.
Crapper Closet.

I like the second one, but the seat's a little plain.

It's a good thing you and I aren't under the same roof. We'd have a lot
of "discussions". The second one looks uncomfortable and would need
a pressure washer to clean. I'm a repairman and have always had the KISS
rule drummed into me.

People that have toilets like that also have people to clean them too.
Not an issue.

Thread is reminding me of a stay at the Madonna Inn in CA many years ago:

We were in a room like this one:

I have a picture somewhere of the men's room in their restaurant where
the urinal was like a miner's sluice.

One more thing that may not apply to you.

As I got fat, I began to understand those toilet seat extensions and
even more the extra-high toilets. There are such things, right?

But later I noticed that the problem was trying to lower myself straight
to the seat, getting my center of gravity not over my feet, and then
falling backwards. So now I lower myself straight down, which even fat
I can do, and when I'm low enough I rock back to being over the seat.

It works fine. No need for a special toilet, unless something
unforeseen happens.

The Water Closet has a grab bar on either side to help. We also have
the "comfort height" toilets to make it easier. Old knees don't work as
well.
