I prefer the one that is in the original GWX supermod tbh but that doesn't mean I consider others to be inferior.

I use OLC GUI 1.2.7. The mod came with an instructional video and PDF file for manual targeting and that's how I learned to do my own targeting. Once I find something I like, I stick with it. It's an age thing.

Most of the GUI I use is straight GWX v3, with Captain Teach’s Color Icons for the buttons and with FB Sale’s large slider compass added in. (I don’t actually use the GUI much, as I play using voice command.) But for the scope and UZO pages, I use Hitman’s Optics. No notepad, no stadimeter, and no in-game aids. I use DIY hand-held two-sided angriffscheibe and RAOBF as attack aids. I also use Tycho's analog watch with no digital readouts for speed, depth, etc. All analog, very spartan, very 1940's. I try to avoid that "computerized" look-and-feel as much as possible.

I didn't like much the GWX default GUI even if I found it better then stock SH GUI. Then I installed MaGUI and since then I'm happy.

I tried all of those mentioned here already and finally decided on the relatively stock GWX Gui. I generally make subtle changes to the Gui that are more to my personal liking. I also tried the hsGUI and I may try that again for my next career.

Currently I'm running MaGUI, decided to give it a shot after a clean-slate protocol (I broke SHIII and couldn't figure out what broke it).

Prior to that I ran OLC Gold with ACM Reloaded.

I can vouch for both being very, very good, and up to personal preference as to which is 'superior'. So far, I'm liking MaGUI a bit more, but I think it's because I have new toys to learn, where as I had OLC pretty much mastered.

Not me.
I thought about it when I discovered the possibilities to play in widescreen mode but then I was already accotumated to the 4:3 ratio and I play 1024x768 on a native display of 1366x768.
To be honest I really do not feel the need for the widescreen mode.
