I'd love to hear Hau Tai-Tang's unofficial comments on the '10- but personally I think his crew captured the 'mustang' look better 5 years ago... the tapered taillights especially look out of place- perhaps a aftermarket bumper/lenses will come along, but again, time will tell."
The stylists were the ones leading the change in direction of the look, not the Mustang Chief Engineers (either Hau Thai-Tang or Paul Randle).

Hau Thai-Thang's engineering team translated the design from the Ford Mustang styling team into a manufactuable product for the 2005 launch. The lead designer, Doug Gaffka, has been in charge of Mustang styling through the entire S197 run, 2005 to now 2010. I believe he also he has been involved in the SN-95 "New Edge" ('99-'04) cars.

I'm 32, so you make the call. I get what you're saying, but I think your criticism is juuuuuust a bit over the top. I feel like I need a nap after trudging through your rambling posts. Maybe if you'd simply make your point without trying so hard to be clever and witty... like a bad Dave Barry impression. It doesn't enhance your argument in any way. But I digress. And a bit of a geezer, if you ask me! 
My arguments aren't meant to enhance--they're meant to inform and to enrage. From what I read in this thread, I'm pretty damned good at it, too--if I do (modestly) say so myself! Shucks (blush)!
"And a bit of a geezer, if you ask me!" A bit of that, too! But it provides the advantage that I was lusting for Mustangs long before you young whippersnappers were born--I've seen the highs ('64-'70 & '05-'09) and the lows (the bloated '71s-'73s, the cutesy '74s-'78s, the drab Foxes, the two-door Tauruses...) and the in-betweens (the "New Edge" Mustangs) and I know right when I see right. I'd love to say that the 2010 is the most beautiful Mustang ever, but I've been under oath since I gave statements at my last arrest back in August.

This is a tough one, since the answer would be affected by whether or not the Cobra Rs were included. Of these five, the 2010 is certainly more advanced--having been derived rather artlessly from the best Mustang ever built. But being more advanced and being more desirable aren't necessarily the same thing. See below. First of all, I'd take a "New Edge" Mustang over any of the five you've listed--starting with a Cobra R, dropping to a Mach 1, settling for a regular Mustang GT if the first two aren't choices.
But of the five you actually listed, I narrowed it down to this:
If the 351 Cobra R is a choice under "rather have", then I'd go with a two-door Taurus. Also, if the two-door Taurus is one of those ex-Bondurant-driving-school (I think it was Bob Bondurant who sold off a small fleet of orange two-door Taurus Mustangs about a decade ago), then I'd go with that if the 351 Cobra R is out.
