So many choices... [pathfinder]

Hey, so I am looking to GM a Pathfinder game. I am new to GMing through Roll20. There are several character sheets. So I simply have to ask: which one is the best one to use and the least likely to cause my players to kill me in my sleep?

Pathfinder Community Sheet IMO will offer the most versatility/complexity(buffs, conditions, alternate rules support, Herolab import, companion script for pro users which has a TON of additional features, years of support on the forums and wiki, etc.) This comes at a cost however; the sheet is complex, huge, and slow and currently will not work with any of the newly released official paizo/roll20 materials(crownfall). Official Pathfinder Sheet is a fast officially supported sheet that works with the official paizo/roll20 materials.  Pathfinder Playtest is a playtest sheet that will more than likely become the Official PF2e sheet once the playtest rules have morphed into RAW.  Pathfinder Simple is a fast simple sheet, but you may need to be creative with macros and additional attributes to make it handle more advanced and high level Pathfinder play.

I agree with vince on the Community one if your running a core or core+ pathfinder game and want all the QoL bells and whistles.  We just started/switched to a pathfinder campaign and I flip flopped between the Community sheet and Official in 2 test campaigns to see which I liked. When you first open it, you will feel like you are staring at a long file tax form, as its its crazy packed with tabs and buttons and options..but you soon realize about 80% of that is auto calculated things and it's just trying to be thorough with EVERYTHING. The Official one is a lot less complex and easier for players (less initial first time explaining it to them), but the Community one as a GM FAR outweighed it. With the companion script, ammo tracking, auto conditions, and able to quickly import monsters from both compendium and d20pfd with a few clicks made me go with it. It is a bit slower and less 'snappy' response than the Official sheet, but to me the time it saves me well outweighs the extra few seconds now and then it takes to respond to 'do' something when clicking around setting up tokens and characters.
Awesome. Thanks, guys. I looked over them, keeping your feedback in mind, and I agree.

Official pathfinder sheet is really good but have a problem, support only inches and feets as measurement, this is unfair because roll20 have a lot of players from europe (like me) where only UK uses this.
