Splitting the difference here for a second ... I think I'm down for a darker red suit with white/silver lightning that highly resembles his 90s Flash and JLU costume designs ... I like the open crown and the red hair a lot because it gives you instant recognition of which Flash just showed up and was always Wally's costume flair from his origins anyway.
But I'm definitely curious as the former half-yellow, half-red flash how he'd look in an orange Flash costume. Has there ever been an orange Flash? I know one of the kids kind of has an orange and white costume but that costume design isn't great, I mean a Flash costume not a speedster costume.
Personally as a very fair-toned and red-headed human myself I'm aware that in real life, autumn colors kind of tend to look like hell on winter-skinned people and make for bad contrast / complimentary color with ginger hair, but it's 2-D comics art, not real life.

Defintely the 2016 one. I don't like Brett Booth drawing style at all, but the design of the suit is perfect to showcase he's also the Flash, but in his own way (although I'd prefer him with the white lenses, but the rest is perfect).
The current blue is visually striking too, it would be my second choice.
As for the oldest ones... those made sense in those times. Barry was dead, Wally wanted to follow his legacy, etc. But now Wally's route is more similar to Dick's, in terms of becoming his own man, and not just the "sequel". Besides, in marketing terms, in doesn't make sense anymore to have two almost identical Flash, especially when Barry is more popular.
His rebirth costume is cool, just make a combination with his 90's costume like i did here to honor that era and it's all good!
I'd be cool with Drako's tweak to the current/Rebirth suit.
If it were me I might tweak a few other details to help ensure Wally's visual can't be confused with Barry's, even at a glance, but I'd honestly be quite satisfied if Wally started wearing this. Booth's design is really quite good, I just can't stand the open hair; Wally might as well be running around in a school boy uniform as have his hair exposed like he did as a kid.

He should go back to the one with the white eye lenses. I don't really like the hair out one, it's a step back to Kid Flash in my opinion.
