Business card layout

I'm in the process of making a "personal business card" for myself. It needs to have just a name, a phone number and an email address.

Here are few layout options, and I wanted to get some quick opinions as to which one seems to be most balanced and visually appealing. I am leaning towards #3.

I would go the minimalistic approach: set "Lorem Ipsumovich" the same weight and colour of the e-mail address and phone number.
