Ranking the Snow Whites

Just a jump-off of the Cinderella topic. Snow White's really the only other tale with enough versions to make a topic worth it really.
Snow White
1. Happily Ever After
2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
3. Once Upon a Time
4. Snow White (2025)
5. Tale of Terror
6. Mirror, Mirror
7. Snow White: The Fairest of Them All
8. Faerie Tale Theatre
9. Snow White and the Huntsman
The Queen (or Queen's brother in HEA's case)
1. Tale of Terror
2. Once Upon a Time
3. Snow White and the Huntsman
4. Snow White (2025)
5. Happily Ever After
6. Snow White: The Fairest of Them All
7. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
8. Mirror, Mirror
9. Faerie Tale Theatre
The Hag / Disguise
1. Snow White (2025) / Once Upon a Time (love these two's takes about the same)
3. Snow White: The Fairest of Them All
4. Mirror, Mirror
5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
6. Snow White and the Huntsman
7. Faerie Tale Theatre
8. Happily Ever After
9. Tale of Terror
I guess the only Hag in Happily Ever After is the prince's cursed form really. Well, Lord Maliss has the dragon form, so I ranked that. And Regina never turns into a hag in OUAT either. Well, in SW&tH, the transformed Queen isn't a Hag either, so I guess you could say the Queen's alternate form she takes to curse/defeat Snow White in OUAT is her Mayor form (the cursed sleep being their lost memory)? So I'll go with that. And Sw: FoTA has an actual hag version at the end, but the form that she takes to poison Snow White (appearing as SW's mother) is what I ranked. Really interesting take.
The Prince (or Love Interest)
1. Snow White and the Huntsman
2. 1937 animated film
