Tough choice, but I would go with 2 or 4 I think. Can I see pictures of the does you will be breeding the buck to?

3 isn't bad either, but his rump is too steep for me. I like him best but not his rump!

2 and 3 are fairly angular, but I don't think the rump will improve. #2 appears to have the least steep rump though.

2 looks the best to me because he seems like he has a nice, level topline, fairly good brisket for a kid, nice angular legs, and his neck blends well into his withers and chest. His rump, from what I can see, looks okay. I would say it looks good for meat goat standards, but not dairy goat standards. They are, after all, very different

Thanks for the explanation

At what age does a kid's conformation become more "reliable"? Or I guess a better way of saying it would be when do they mature enough to get a better idea?

Thanks everyone so much!

I would say at about a year, but the older the better IMO.
