1963 Topps: Bright stock, light ink color and solid design

1970 Topps: Bright stock, great color choices and another solid layout

1980 Topps: Most of the '80s backs are pretty much the same basic format, so the first of the decade gets the nod. Also, the blue ink gives decent contrast on the gray stock

I prefer the blue of the 1965 backs over the 63s. I agree with your other 3 choices.
