Wide

Verdana inside 0.85 inch margins. The short measure is the point: a narrower column is easier to read down quickly, and the extra white space makes a shorter history look intentional rather than thin. Costs you room, so it suits early-career resumes.

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.
