So which bed fill cap do you think I should use?

Out of the 3, I would use A

Which one is easiest to use? They all look good, but I don't like dinking around with trying open them. Another thing that I'd think about is the diameter of the trim flange and if I'd need a little extra wiggle room when I make that hole in the bed. But to answer your question...all else aside...I like C

My first impulse would be A. But I do like the smooth/shaved appearance of B. I would consider B as long as mounting it to the bed floor isn't difficult.

They all pretty much mount the same. This is C.

I like option C or the last picture you posted. The others look good, but I don't want to mess with a key.

Good point.

I'm not a big fan of attaching the filler cap to the bed wood/floor, but of the ones you posted, I would go with B.

'B' would be easiest/quickest from the user perspective on anything that's more than the car show warrior. If you drive it a lot, it will get old using the 'key' required for 'A' to snug the lid down for sealing. 'B' has the little flip-up tab that serves that function.
