I lived in VT2B on the top floor for 3 or 4 years shortly after construction and the main issues, which were largely avoided in the later developments, were the construction going on for year after year as the condos were empty shells. That is how they all were back then but later developments made life easier by moving to fully fitted out which is way more sensible. That means however that VT2 has almost 1900 potentially different fitting out qualities !
VT2B being set back from the road is annoying if walking that distance day in and day out and in hot and bad weather but with a car or truck it is fine. VT2A being nearer the road is easier I guess.
VT1 was 1 pool between 2 units whereas VT2 is 2 pools. VT1 is smaller by design. VT2 has the most land given to any near modern complex and you'll never get that feeling of open space again.
VT3 is ok if you lke the area but you need transport for sure.
VT4 never materialised - I don't know why. VT Residence 4 is the nearest but that isn't the 4th development. My guess is that it was planned and didn't happen.
VT5C is the start of the 48sqm units which was followed over into VT6. 2 buildings here, seafront and one set back, pool in between.
VT6 is the most abused VT building as the Beach Road location means it is a virtual AirBnB and short time hotel. Location is great, living there is not.
VT7 took years to build and was the subject of many a court case as the front building is in breach of the required distance from the shore line, which was "amended". Clearly brown bags were passed and residents who lost their view got shafted.
VT8 is on the moon. No-one even truly knows where it is and no-one cares.
Where would I live ?
Honestly, VT2 carries some memories but from a practical point of view, to have a large pool maintained then you need a lot of condos paying for it so small blocks don't make sense. VT7 is a ghost ship most night with 20 lights on from 1200 condos. VT3 is quite nice but isolated really so perhaps VT5 or back to VT2 where there is a hub of long term residents and the space around the development makes it feel nice.
