Some of the best I‘ve ever seen

5 best Keris I've ever seen in China, I think they are of very high quality.

Four of they are balinese Keris.

The first one has gold gilded in silver hilt

The second one has a ivory hit, this one is not balinese

The third one has ivory crosspiece

The 4th one looks very very shiny,but is said to be an antique.

THe 5th one is said to be very old, and the hilt (a white demon) is very beautiful.

How do you think about them? Which one do you think better?

Only 3 of these pieces seem to be Balinese , you have a piece with an hilt from Madura (with the donoriko hilt) but seemingly a Bugis sepukal blade and a Bugis sarong , that hilt is certainly incorrect on this kris, and one from Sumatra (blade is not visible but the Java Demam grip should point in that direction).

Thank you Milandro. It will be very sad of my friend the ower that his blade is a Mismatched one.

Those blades are the best I've ever seen recently. I think it's appropriate to view them as good or high quality Keris. But I'm not professional, and wish to have opinion from you, thanks!
