I am in need of advice for my first and second cities, and I would like your feedback to help me get these decks into tip top shape, as well as to help me decide which one to use for Cities. All fixes and criticisms appreicated!

Please let me know what you guys think. I'm sure you've seen decks like these all over the place, but they are good, and they are what I have to work with. Please note any fixes to any of the decks that can improve them. Also, let me know which one you think is the best choice to start of my Cities run. Thanks a lot!
