My preferred version from the above choices is actually the “quick edits on the RAW image”. When you push the HDR too far it starts to look “un-natural” (more painted and less photographed). I know there is a fine line between the 2 and that it can be very subjective (my opinion vs yours), but I want to err on the side of “natural”.
Also, as long as there is some blue in the sky, you don’t need to replace the sky.

Left column are your edits — Right column are mine. I just edited your images by brushing in “Dehaze” and darkening the shadows with slight boost in vibrancy. I’ll do a screen recording on the next property.
