I like the initial sketch most of all compositionally. The camera angle is interesting and there's some environment elements, too. On the last one, faces are turned such a way that I it's hard to guess those are faces if you don't already know it. And the camera position is more boring imho.
As for lighting variations, I prefer the 3rd comp because there's no stripe on the face in Jaquen'shands and I can see the details best and there are nice value variations on Jaquen's head. The 5th one is more dramatic, though I don't like very much that his "face" is in the darks, because it implies less detail. Maybe it's ok as he is faceless but I still prefer the 3rd one.
I like the dramatic lighting in Caravaggio's picture! All the faces are well lit btw.
Anyway, awesome idea Amit, I bet your final will look epic!
