I would use the third one on the left also, but change it just a little. I would use a narrow border of the big black print, then another narrow strip of the lightest you have, probably the pink, and then a wide border of the big black print.
I have made several like that, and I think they are stunning. Somehow the light strip cutting through the dark just brings out the black very nicely. I cut the narrow borders 1.25 inches and the wide border 5 inches. That gave me 3/4 inch each of the first two borders in the finished quilt.
