Serif

Garamond at 11.5pt with headings in title case and nothing ruled. Sections are separated by space rather than lines, which is quieter on the page and needs a resume with enough content that the spacing reads as deliberate. Good for academic and writing-led work.

The rest of them

Every template parses the same

The structural choices that decide whether a parser can read a resume are fixed across all six: one column, real headings, no tables, no text boxes, dates in one format. What you are picking here is how it looks to the person who opens it afterwards.
