On an engagement ring, which is better?

5.... Hmm.... Unique...

No right answer. If you are using a fairly heavy white gold head or a platinum head 4 prongs will be fine for security. I happen to think they look nicer as well. If its a larger stone you might want to consider split prongs as well

that definitely appears to fit into the "larger stone" category.

I like four prongs. But it depends on the rest of the setting...

You can have MY wife. She already has the ring.
