I would definitely avoid the wing collar shirt; apart from my personal prejudice against attached wing collars, I believe that they really don't work with pleated front shirts. The collars on both the other shirts look a bit unprepossessing and I wouldn't recommend the textured version.

This may punch a hole in your budget but I would be more inclined to go with one of these (but not the first one, obviously):

I bought a cheap tux shirt yesterday at H&M for a party (didn't want to risk my nice one, as it was more of a booze fest than a real party) for $25. It's a pleat front, wing collar, but the fit was spot on and had some features that even more expensive shirts lack. For example, there is a flap behind the placket so you could wear the shirt sans undershirt and not have your studs directly touching you and the part of the placket where the buttons are at the bottom is covered, so you get to wear studs but could go without a cummerbund and not show buttons.

Buy my unworn 15.5 Thomas Pink marinella spread collar hidden placket shirt from me for $50. No need for studs.
