Should I current one of my new signatures? Do they need editing? Whats your opinion?

I think your current is much better. The background on the new one is pretty cool, but I don't like how you made the stock transparent.

Try this... Put the stock back to 100% opacity and the blend mode on normal. Duplicate it and gaussian blur it on around 2.5. Set the blurred layer to soft light or overlay (whichever looks better). Now make a new layer on top of those. On this layer, begin brushing around the render with the same brushes you used in the background. Make sure the brushing goes over the stock, but not too much is covered. Now Hold Ctrl and click on the layer with the brushing over the stock. With it selected, create a color balance layer. Change the color as you like. After this add a one pixel border.

This should make it look a lot better.

the second i like just make the actual woman stand out a bit more by selecting her, copy n paste stylize find lines invert the lines then mess with the blending option and make it suttle with low optacy. 8/10 could be 9/10 if you follow my instructions.
the first one seems odd and rushed make the render full no low optacy. then take some of the wires rap them round the render and blend, by making the render fade in areas and bring that out by making the wires where you've rubbed out brighter. or insted of fading use smuge tool round edges and yank some of the render out to areas horizontly. and the font....YUCK! maybe not the font itself but the blend mode.... ahhwell i like the background tho 6/10 could be 8ish/10

Better or worse?

current is much better.
New one is over blended.

Much better than the last, but overblended now. I don't really like the scan lines either.
