Depends entirely on where you are. Since colorizing landsat imagery is
a choice of algorithms, those algorithms work better in some areas, and
worse in others.

In my hometown, I prefer the i-Cubed Landsat over the NASA landsat,
though clearly that's not appropriate in the area you were looking at.
