OT: Upgrade

I am thinking of upgrading my garden and can't decide on the best Gnomes for the job. So far I have narrowed it down to,
Classic stone look,

The ever durable painted fiberglass,

Or the novelty type,

There are such a wide range of Gnomes out there its hard to select the right one for me. I mostly use the garden for sitting in and the occasional bbq, any advise would be a great help. I really want to get this sorted for the better weather.
Btw can you get Carbon Fiber gnomes and are they safe for any garden or is that something I should leave to the pro garden gnome owners? How do you check for cracks if I go down the line getting a secondhand CF Gnome?

HAHAHA! Brilliant!
Gnomes.
Why do people put Gnomes in their gardens?
A carbonfibre gnome wound be awesome!Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Just make sure you don't put them next to the puncture fairies.
From now on, the "carbon superpowers" are to be known as the "carbon fibre gnomes".
