Many of these decisions have been made, but this shows the glyph battles that go on in my head while designing type.

Winners so far:
Round 1: right (the left part of the first one was colliding with other characters).
Round 2: right (the left was too fancy compared to the other caps).
Round 3: right (just too pippin not to go with). Also, the same format works well on the cap D.
Round 4: UNDECIDED.

how are the other numbers looking? I really like the right with the horizontal brush stroke, but might not match the others

@Lauri Johnston Thanks! Alternates are a slippery slope. Include too many, and the typeface will never get finished! Also, I find people so rarely use them.
@Neil Tasker They're comin alon. The 3 that you like matches the 5 and 7 well.

In all honesty you should just have a ton of alternate glyphs.

i think right, right, right, left. But both Bs look solid.
IMHO the right hand 3 feels a little house number to me. left hand 3 feels like it fits with what I have seen thus far. Might be different in context with other digits.
Keep up the great work Step Dad.

@Tiffany Wardle de Sousa I wish you could just draw both and the OpenType, kerning, and necessary ligatures would just figure themselves out :)
@dan gneiding the right 3 is working surprisingly well. I am torn. Need to look at more signs. Call me "dad".

It'd be nice to see a rebound with these in context. Isolated glyph battles might be fun—and pretty—but fun and pretty glyphs don't necessarily add up to a harmonized typeface.
Anyway, I say the second B in Round 3 could take the other seven in a street brawl. (Now I kinda want a 'face named Brawl.) Keep up the fight, James!

@André Mora Couldn't agree more. More people are chiming in around here than expected! I'm totally with you on the B. Thanks André!
