I agree, the Radient is too orange, the Universal is too cutey-fied and the colors suck.
Stick with the basic. The USG RWS will stand up to a ton of use and abuse. It is the best card stock and lamination that you’ll get, and the illustrations are pretty true to the original.
I’ll warn you away from the deck marketed as the ‘Original Rider Waite Tarot’, it’s a nasty green tint that does not reflect what an original Waite-Smith deck looks like. Not even close.
Mind you – only an opinion…
