Buying an SD Interstate Shield to hang on wall. Can't decide. Which one?

[SoDakInterstateEnthusiast]

I'm wondering what route number would have the best aesthetic appearance on a sign. What do you think?

I'm also considering getting an SD route shield. 10, 20, 37, 42, and 45 are up for consideration out of those.

EDIT: Only I-29 and I-90 are being considered now, because I decided I want a 2di instead of a 3di. I almost completely guaruntee that I-90 will be the outcome of the poll, but If you consider my reason for why I think I-29 would look decent perhaps the poll will be more of a close fight.

Also poll expires 11:59 on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 because I forgot to add an expiration date.

State name shield or no?  None of SD's 4 interstates are uniquely numbered unfortunately.

You could try for a green I-229 Business shield, which AFAIK would be the second-highest business Interstate number in the U.S.

I was planning on doing the state name, yes.

You could try for a green I-229 Business shield, which AFAIK would be the second-highest business Interstate number in the U.S.

Huh, never thought about business shields. I'll look into that.     Also, I'm pretty sure 229 would actually be the 5th. Don't quote me on that though.

Thanks for the input guys!

I'd personally get I-90. It's the longest Interstate in the country, the busiest in and most important to SD, and shows the east/west change through the state well.

229 is the 5^th-highest Business Interstate number but the 3^rd-highest signed Business Interstate number.

I 526 BS
I 385 BS is unsigned
I 376 BS
I 375 BS is unsigned
I 229 BL

Business Spur I-385 used to be signed FWIW
But you aren't going to find that on GSV. 2003 pic:

Don't know why you wouldn't get I-90 unless you live in Watertown or something along I-29

I actually do live closer to I-29 than I do I-90
The only reason I am considering I-29 is because I like how it looks on the sign. Imo, it looks aesthetically better on a sign because it's not so much of a commonly used number as 90 is, it's more unique. You might hear someone say, "Oh what did you score on the test?" And they might reply, "About 90%. I don't remember." However, it is less likely that when buying an amount of material for something someone would inquire you to buy exactly 29 feet rather than 30, because 30 is just a more common number to have lengths with. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. That's just my reasoning here. The reason I asked is I'm REALLY more or less trying to decide whether to get a 3DI or 2DI. 

However, I really thank you guys for your input! 

EDIT: I also decided that I-29 would somewhat be cooler because I'm thinking about how it runs through Sioux Falls. I-90 has a mere 4 (I think) actually 5 exits for Sioux Falls, along with 6 lanes, which if you didn't know the city existed and you were driving cross-country on I-90 one day you would be mislead to think that Sioux Falls was a much smaller city. However, the way I-29 runs through, 8 lanes width even occurs at some points and it has 9 Sioux Falls interchanges (10 counting Tea since SD-100 will use that exit). As a result, my dim-witted-as-far-as-infrastructure-goes friends who come over would recognize it a little easier since we live in Northeast SD, furthest from I-90 and closest I-29. And most of my friends usually make relatively frequent trips to Sioux Falls to see family. IDK, that's what I'm thinking.
