None of them. They're a pain in the ass, so much so that I only kept mine for a little under two years before I demanded the retailer take it back. The cheaper versions, such as the "Faded SG" are particularly prone to coming out of tune. If you want the Gibson sound, spend a little extra and get the Les Paul or an ES or even a Flying V or Explorer (though they're both stage-only instruments, terrible for practising on your lap). Otherwise, if your budget is in the $1000 range, go for a Fender or something Japanese. the problem with SGs is that they just don’t stay in tune. None of them.
