I prefer Gyro as a brunette in a white shirt and a yellow hat. For Scrooge, I'd go with a red coat with grey/brown cuffs and white/grey spats. Since the characters are American, I guess I prefer the American colors for my head-canon. Fethry hasn't really got an American color scheme that has stuck (to my knowledge). I grew up reading stories with both pink and red Fethry, so this one is really hard for me to choose. But I guess I ultimately prefer the pink/purple one, since it's the weirdest one, and the one that fits his personality the best.
I thought I'd add color schemes for Donald and Gladstone too.
(1) Cartoons from the 30s, (2) Cartoons from the 40s, (3) Classic comics, (4) I guess "modern" comics, (5) "Modern" cartoons, (6) DuckTales 2017.
(1) American colors, (2) 'Race to the South Seas', (3) Egmont colors, (4) Italian comics, (5) DuckTales 1987, (6) DuckTales 2017.
There's also the variation of the above where the tie is red; they used this one in the 1990's cartoons.
By the way, as I've said before, I really dislike his DuckTales 2017 colors, since in combining the comics' black shirt with the early cartoons' white beret, they made it so that there is no blue anywhere on him, which is just weird.
Incidentally, the French Wiki's page about Donald's shirt (why yes, it has a page about Donald's shirt, why not?) has accounts of six different cuts of the shirt, which only partially overlaps with your six — since it doesn't worry about the color of the cuffs, or about the beret (whatever it may be), but does worry about the number of buttons. Here's the link.
For Gladstone, I prefer his Italian color scheme, but I'm also okay with the Egmont and DuckTales Classic colors. The American ones, to a lesser extent, maybe. Either way I'm more accepting of changes to Gladstone's color scheme than for any other character, as it would be entirely in-character of him to frequently change his wardrobe based on the current fashion. Heck, there's a hilarious theory out there that Gladstone does not, and has never done, laundry; he just throws away his clothes when they're dirty, and new, clean ones arrive at his doorstep through happenstance.
Also, you missed his 1950's American comics color scheme, with blue bowtie and blue-green jacket, which I rather like:
There's also a variation of your #1, the modern American color scheme, where the tie is yellow instead of black. Not sure how I feel about it.
This from an unidentified European printing:
And finally, what appears to be Don Rosa's personal coloring preference, weird as it seems, since this appears to be one of those hand-made prints he gives out at conventions:
