I like Pulse 1. Simple and subtle.

The others look really nice, but I think they're just a bit too "busy" for a loader icon. They might work well for a splash screen that shows the animation once, but on a loop, they strike me as a bit too much. Part of this is because they are fairly long animations which might not complete by the time the background loading finishes, and I wouldn't want to miss the end of the animation!

haha true yep - and I sortof agree - the simplest pulsing animation conveys that something's happening while also not making your eye work too hard...
