So it was discussed in one of my shows, I have an awful time judging poses where catz have thick legs... I believe Ratqueen has helped quite a bit more than anyone's ever before with how to tell using the toes, but I'm still having a really rough time... So I took several photos of Sandstorm and I think I ordered them by alignment. But I'd love to hear opinions on which is the best? Thanks :)

Poses C through F are almost too similar to compare and comment on, but I’d say my favorite is F, mostly because it looks more balanced to me (I like the way the left side of the leg looks, and the evenness of the paw). But C-F are all great and BIS-worthy. I also like F’s tail (and G's, which is identical) the most. The only thing that bothers me a bit about F, even though it's not a judging factor, is how the jowl ball slipped behind the eye ball. Still like that pose best.
From what I've noticed some Persian-legged catz produce a 1 pixel-deep "dent" on the right side of the leg, at the top, even if perfectly aligned. Others, like yours right here, can be reposed and have a straight line on the right side instead. I find both acceptable, since the dent can be unavoidable depending on the cat (as long as the dent is no more than 1 pixel-deep, otherwise that would indicate misalignment).
G and H's eyes are uneven, so I wouldn't consider those.

Thanks for the comments :) I also really loved F... EXCEPT that weird Eye xD I can't put it in shows seriously with that eye bugging out.
Anyway thanks for the comments :D I do like the explanation of the "dent"-- I think I will need to practice more Persians.
