From a kiltmaker's perspective, all of them will pleat pretty well to the sett. Although, the complex blue/white/red stripe could be a nightmare if it's about the width of a pleat (and the central red isn't wide enough to make it possible to split the central red between two pleats).

I think, though, that the tartan will _not_ pleat well to the stripe. All of the likely candidates for pleating to the stripe are too wide - especially the complex blue/white/red stripe.

Tartans that pleat well to the stripe have a narrow (1/4" or 3/8" max) stripe that stands out well against the adjacent background colors. If the stripe is any wider, all you see is the stripe in the pleat, and very little of the adjacent color, and that adjacent color can vanish if the pleat tapers at all. If you try to pleat to a multiple stripe, it might be OK if the pleats don't taper any, but it is entirely possible that you can't pleat to it at all if it's about the same width or wider than a typical pleat.
