None of them.  The play is very different.  A computer program searches with
almost flawless precision to find tiny fractions of a pawn advantage and any
tactical shot like grabbing a pawn.

Human GM's don't play like that for the most part.  Polgar and Morphy are
tactical sorts, but most GM's have a very different style from computers.

CS-Tal plays wild "pirates pouring over the walls" attacks.
Gambit Tiger apparently is made to understand gambits to some degree.

But really, you can't compare the play very well.

Both machines and top human experts play exceptional chess games.  But the way
that they go from "point a" to "point b" is not the same at all.

IMO-YMMV.
