Wow, those both look great - and they'd be work.

Personally I like the top one, because I think on a six sided thing, you'll have a ton of text and images already, not to mention any other ones you'd be holding, so keeping the image clutter down would improve how reading and such. The grey stripe would also look nicer on a die or whatever you're printing it on, vs having an image on a plain base. (this point is mute if you aren't sticking it on a base.)
