The bIg D for me. But really, it's up to ya. Just like your pants. 
Which Softail?
I think you already answered this for yourself!! LOL
You are the one who needs to make this decision, as was said, they all drive similarly albeit the handlebars and positions. I have the Heritage and love it, was going in to get a Fatboy, but fell in love with the Heritage. Good luck

I too love the look of the Deluxe. After riding the Heritage, Deluxe and Fat Boy, I chose the Heritage. I do alot of two up riding, and the Heritage was the most comfortable and best bang for the buck. There is a reason they make all three, buy the one you like best.

My buddy and I went looking at bikes at the same time. He knew he wanted a black Fat Boy and went into the dealership and bought a black Fat Boy. I knew I wanted a Heritage and went into the dealership and bought a Deluxe. You rode them all so pick the one you like and change the bars if you have to. They're all great bikes.

They all have a unique look, which look do you like the best? I "thought" I was all about the Deluxe, until I saw the clean look of my Anniversary Fatboy sitting on the showroom floor. It just screamed out to me. After that there was no other options. Maybe hit the dealer just one more time and look at them all at once. One of them is bound to tug on those heart strings.
