Got this HCW clone E last year, and it has mostly pushed small, narrow pitchers, but it looks like it might be ready to show its true colors.

Congrats! E is an underrated clone IMO.

Now I'm curious, which do you prefer? (E is my only HCW, so have nothing to compare to)

Probably my favorite clone of all is F (although there are some A x F clones that are giving F a run for its money). I think the pouty lip on E is super unique though, and E x F should give some excellent results (imagine F coloring with E pouty lip). The only clone I’m growing at the moment is A and an unlabeled SG HCW so kind of have to go off Mike Wang’s pics for HCW comparisons . A is good but I think I like E more.

Your A clone is pretty nice! Although I do see what you're sayin' about F. And I just spent a little time in the rabbit-hole of HCW clones, and ran across Sarracenia camisole, HCW, which also appeals. Ugh, so many pretty sarrs!
