Having to narrow down the selections put into the "Best of" collection sounds like a giant headache, especially in situations when choosing from small clusters of stories like the ones you named. I would go with "Bradbury Weather" over "Riding the White Bull" and "Galápagos" if it were something I had any right to make the choice over, but it's because the story personally resonated with me more than the others. The worldbuilding of 23rd century colonial Mars, the differing relationships that Mikaela and the MC had with Sailor, the reread enjoyment factor, and the general increased memorability of that story compared to the other two. I enjoy them all, but "Bradbury Weather" is the only one I've read many times and keep going back to every so often.

I don't expect my explanation here to impact your decision making process hypothetical or actual, but I did wish to convey my thoughts on the pieces to you regardless, as a long-time reader and fan. Take it as you wish.
