I think they're all pretty neat from a flavorful aspect. As far as power level and game mechanics I think the Path of the Storm Herald is probably the strongest (maybe). I'd be interesting in getting some play test time with Path of the Ancestral Guardian. I wonder if it's better than traditional Bear totem for meat shield / tanking, etc.
I'm a fan of the flavor of Ancestral Guardian, but I think I prefer the zealot overall... zealot is just sooooooo much fun in concept and implementation. It evokes such a powerful image with it's anti-death features.
I'm playing a Zealot Barbarian in a mini-campaign. It's fun enough I might try and migrate her over to our current main one (assuming she survives the upcoming mini-apocalypse, of course). My favorite bit was having my allies nearby when I raged, and then being shocked when they got injured by my wrath aura.
(For context, we're all Drow and my loathing for my "allies" is pretty high, so my fellow players were expecting something like this)
Have you checked out the revised version of Ancestral Guardian yet?
Haven't play tested it yet, but it looks SO much better than the original version released last November. Anyone have any input on this? I'm thinking about using it as soon as they add the ability to integrate UA content into the character builder for class mechanics.

Has anyone tried the UA Barbarian's? If so, what did you like or not like?
I also am intregued by the Storm Herald Path. I would be interested in a forest environment.
