Recommendation for Easy Peasy 5ed Char Sheet

Hi Folks, First time Roll20 DM here. Could I get a recommendation on the absolute easiest Character sheet for 5th ed for myself and my players, please? As a player, I've used both manual and populated by the SRD but I have no idea what either of them were called and the one that I've picked does not seem to be intuitive for my mixed level experience players.  Ideally I'd love one that works with the SRD Thanks,

The best one (in my opinion) is the OGL sheet. it has the most streamlined, paper and pen feel.

Seconded; with some good macro work, you can do just about anything with it, and there's only 2 pages(if a player is a spellcaster) that need to be accessed regularly.

Both the Shaped sheet and the OGL sheet work with the SRD. Both are modeled on the paper sheet. Try them both to see which you like more. Community is very outdated and does not work with the SRD.
Learning curve wise, Community < OGL < Shaped Functionality wise, Shaped > OGL > Community You will need to look at and read some tutorials to gain full functionality form the Shaped sheet, but once you start understanding it, it becomes the best.

To learn the full possibilities of either does take time, though those are more advanced features that not everyone will use.

The easiest of all is to use the Bio tab.  But this method is not useful with the Compendium (that contains the SRD material). If using the bio tab, type  Name: Class: Race: Strength: Dexterity: etc. Just like old school on a piece of paper. Super easy.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm on the right track now
Uh oh, just to iterate on what Kryx said above. I find that all sheets are easy to use but for whatever reason 70% of my playerbase fumbles around too much on the shaped sheet. I personally got everything on my first try and is quite intuitive. I dunno what to say.

Some of my players are from the social field of studies, meaning that they are not very bright with computer usage. To those that understand how the sheet's innards work the sheet is an amazing one, to those that have no idea how to use a computer except for using microsoft word then it seems to be troubling. Unfortunately there is nothing you can fix to make it better than it currently is.
