Yeah, I liked the Rebirth suit. It's a classic look.

There are variations over the years, and it isn't easy to find good representative looks. The main change in the classic looks is whether it's a miniskirt, or a skirt (Rebirth only).
My images rarely appear well-sized, but for some reason usually look like thumbnails. But, I'll try.
I can only post 3 images at a time, so the followup post will take me a few minutes to prepare.

For some reason the attachments in the last post don't even appear as thumbnails. Weird. I tried to fix it but couldn't.
Here are the next 3.

Melissa's skirt is around 8 inches shorter than Rebirth. Rebirth usually reaches the top of the boots.
The point is simply that the Rebirth skirt is the most conservative. It's the only one of these that is not a miniskirt.
I left out the extreme Michael Turner version - that design varied somewhat over the years depending on the artist. But technically it was modeled on the Linda Danvers version, but with colors swapped around to be more classic (and the gloves removed).
The Jimenez version has a sleekness to it, which Kevin Maguire sustained during his run.
They are subtle differences.
Mora’s suit for Kara in Batman/Superman is my current favorite even though I like the current one too:

My absolute all-time favorite Kara suit <3

I can't even recognize the emblem on her chest (above). It looks like random splotches of red and yellow. She's practically disassociating from the House of El.
World's Finest is set in the silver age.

Waid couldn’t write the Champions well at all but his Kara is pretty great.
When he’s not trying to be “topical” he doesn’t have a bad voice for teens (or at least Supergirl and Robin). This might be the most affectionate portrayal of Kara and Kal’s relationship since the Pre-Crisis days.
