Redford > DiCaprio > Ladd > Baxter in that order for me

I haven’t seen the Ladd and Baxter versions, but I would say Redford is the best portrayal I’ve seen. But that’s mainly because I don’t really like the Baz Luhrman version of The Great Gatsby.

Can’t remember preferring Redford or DiCaprio, and I don’t have much interest in rewatching. The former’s version is too boring (though he was great) and the latter’s version is too too flash, which misses the point of the story (though he was great).
