The last two I recognise, but I don't remember seeing that top one.
Perhaps you copied it wrong? In any case, #2 is the best one over all.
I compared it with the bottom one about the time #2 was posted. For
about the first 3 terms they were equally performant but after that #2
was consistantly able to reach higher values than #3.

If you compare them term for term, for the task they were intended,
you will note that #2's terms are larger from position 3 on. (4 vs 3)
That means Replace will be replacing larger strings, and as a result,
do it fewer times for the same level of reduction.
