Man Cave Trophy Wall Redo

I am planning on redoing my man cave trophy wall this winter, painting and rearranging mounts etc. Would like opinions on what type of mount/hangers look the best. Might get rid of the plaques, or maybe mounting the hangers on the plaques. I have more Euro mounts to add to the main trophy wall. What do you think looks the best in the pics below? I have two type of hangers, one from the Taxidermists Woodshop and one from Skull Hooker.

Tell me what you think...thanks

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't fit the natural look. If you are going for that? If going modern, I think it'd be a great look. And to be able to swivel it around when telling the story would be cool as well.

I like the skull hooker. That yellow wall though... that's about to make me have a seizure! Lol

I am also a fan of the green or brown tints. Not to dark though.

I seen someone post some pics with can lights above the mounts, those looked GREAT!

I think I'd like whatever is cheapest. Is the cheapest the TW Hanger? I also like it the best to as it does not put the deer too far off the wall. Also, does it mount solid to the TW or just slip onto it? If it slips on you could just slide it off to take a better look at it during show and tell.

TW is around 10 bucks. It is a metal plate that mounts on the wall with one screw/nail and the skull slips on the metal arm. Click the link in the OP. They would be diffidently cheaper in my case since I have a number of Euro's. I am just up in the air whether I like the TW mount, which puts the skull closer to the wall, or the LSK($30-$35) which puts the skull further out from the wall.
