Exterior white paint - Simply White, Cloud White, White Dove?

After weeks of samples and research, I am still stuck on which white to paint the exterior of my 1910 Hudson Valley victorian. I've narrowed to three Benjamin Moore "off-whites" - Simply White, Cloud White, and White Dove.


I love Simply White but worry it will read too stark / bright on the sunniest parts of the home, or look like primer.


I like the brightness of Cloud White, but it's feeling slightly yellow on the exteior near the porch.


And everyone raves about White Dove but I worry it will feel to dingy.


I'm replacing the porch with a weathered oak stained wood, as context.


Please help! Any advice or personal experience welcomed :)
