The Spiral menu was the most fun to use and I feel it would have been a better choice to encourage creativity. It's not an obvious choice of a menu nor convenient, but it has a very toyish feel about it.
I'm honestly surprised Original with acceleration wasn't the original design. It really seems like an oversight they didn't handle it this way as it just feels better to use. Skimming thru the options quickly seems like it would lead to more moments of "Wait, what's that? I forgot I had this echo."
Using either a Grid or Radial menu with Tabs would probably be the most efficient/utilitarian options for players to navigate. The cross media bar would be less convenient, but still be pretty efficient. The cross media bar and grid are fine to navigate with a d-pad, but radial is much better when using an analog stick.
