No mention of WTF-PL?

Yeah, licenses like WTFPL highlight the difference between freedom for the user vs freedom for the developer.

I'm still not sure about which to consider the best license

A really important thing to remember with all licenses is that they're only as useful as your ability to enforce them... in court. And there's a non-zero chance that at least some of these are practically unenforceable anyways.
