Unless a tom catches you moving, any one of those patters will work. I think the last one has a little too much white for having your back against a tree, but it still does a good job of breaking up your outline.
I agree that motion/movement is what the turkeys pick up on (waterfowl are another story)...
However, a camouflage patterns that blends better and has less contrast to the surroundings will mask movement better. Dark green camouflage against a light brown background will contrast more, and make it far more easy to discriminate motion.
And also, remember that turkeys have more photoreceptors than we do... The are able to discriminate colors and wavelengths that are invisible to us... I have no idea how to translate that into what the birds see, but I do believe in using non-UV detergent to wash my hunting clothes...
To the OT: The original Bottomland combination looked pretty good to me.
