Definately redbreast. They're common around here. Males can be extremely aggressive(more so than greens, longears, and dollars combined, IME). They get to about 10".

You probably don't need another opinion, but I back the others, redbreast all the way. Very nice fish. Although similar to small extents to longears and greens ( either end of the spectrum), they are unique and worth keeping. Like mentioned, watch out for aggression, especially males ready to or already nesting.
Even in ponds with plenty of room they are good at dominating a lot of space.
