Of the three, I really like Supersonic Blue when it's on the ZR1. Something about the blacked halo and the wide body and such make it look 'stealth' mixed with blue, if that makes sense (probably not, but any who).
I think the CB isn't too bad although I've never seen one in person, but personally I think they should have kept LMB. Maybe had SSB, LMB, and either JSB or CB.
To me, Jetstream is just a little bit too much. It's kind of like my feelings for red, I think at a certain point you get too 'bright' and it just becomes an eye sore after a while (especially if it's not perfectly clean), but the 'dimmer' or more 'subtle' colors allow the Corvette lines to still show without punching you in the eye.
Ranked:
1. LeMans Blue
2. Supersonic Blue
3. Jetstream Blue and/or Carlisle Blue

I went with SSB, I like the way it changes color depending on light. Sometimes it looks Blue, sometimes Cyber Gray, sometimes it has a purple hue. I've had more people complement my SSB Vette, than my VY Vette.

I do like the SSB and the way it's "understated". However, I'm sorry they discontinued JSB. But, I hate to admit this, but, the Carlisle Blue doesn't look too bad in these pictures. I wanted to go to Carlisle, but, couldn't mike it this year. 
However, why don't they have more than one RED ???

I was a Carlisle today enjoying your display and also at the GM tent so I saw a few different combination of wheels and interiors with the Carlisle Blue. I really like it a lot and I overhead many, many positive comments about it and absolutely no negative comments. The best looking IMO was your convertible with the dark blue top, titanium interior and chrome wheels.

Look, I've always said that I'm not a big fan of blue cars. My favorites are gray or silver. So, the SSB and the CB are both growing on me since SSB looks gray and CB looks silver!
