my 2 cents...
I say don't be afraid to take a hammer and chisel to come up with some smaller pices the "putty or cement " it together.

I like the shelf rock perfect place for frags to grow out.

I say #6 with out the large top rock and bring in the other shelf and add it to the right side @ the lower "joint"

#4 is nice to :D

Looks like the 2 are winning. Some seem to vertical in the pix which may limit coral placement. 2 looks like it slopes a bit giving more area for frags

I like #1 at the moment, but I think that #2 will look the best when covered with corals.

I like 4 & 5
But to be honest the big hunk of rocks need more character. I would chunk some pieces off with a mason hammer and re stick them back on as mentioned. Just too much of a round pumpkin look.

4 and 6
Intersting how mixed opinions and tastes are. Apparently no right answer, to each there own
I would think strongly about what coral your using the sizes and shadowing created.

2 for sure. Best arrangement for lots of corals. 4 and 5 have rocks too close to the glass and will be hard to scrape around. You have to think about maintenance and possible having to catch fish around aquascaping.

Let me ask my wife,...
1 is too tall unless you are going to put a mangrove up there.
2 is great, but pull it off the back wall,
3-6 I voted for two.
It will look better once you get rid of the cardboard. Cant wait to see the final set-up. Nice rock!

It's not touching the back wall. All of the scales I have room to get a scraper in to clean
