I've had good luck with Cooler Master towers. I don't think you can go wrong, as long as you choose a decent brand. If you're going to be looking at it often, you might as well choose the case that fits your aesthetics and preferences best.
From the choices you gave, if I were choosing, I'd go with the Phanteks NV9. It has that simpler look, and it kind of resembles my case. The Phanteks NV9 looks like it has great accessibility to drives and components.
I'm not the best one to give advice on cases because I disabled most of the lighting on mine. I'm just that boring.
As I write this, I look over at Spike looking all chill, and I note the simple, calming color palette.
