Which one do you sounds better to you?

The Humes and Berg one is the typical straight mute. The plastic one is the mute that I made in the thread “Glass straight mute” located in the “Other Toys” section. (Since “Glass...” in the title is wrong, I decided to put this in a separate topic.)
Again, if anyone has one of the clear plastic mutes like Louis Armstrong played, please upload some pictures and measurements.

The plastic mute I made is tricky to play. I had to play very light and the upper notes have to be played way up at the top of the mouthpiece. But, it kind of sounds sassy, and sounds like you’re playing higher than you actually are. I like that. A better player than me could really get some good Pops moments out of it.

I haven’t got a good grip on Someday yet, but when I do I’ll upload it to YouTube.

You must try the Shastock straight from the 20-30's era.
