I voted for the version of Breezepelt that was redeemed in Crowfeather's Trial and thus his further appearances as a background WindClan warrior during AVoS and TBC. Although I did feel bad for him in PoT due to the way his father's distant demeanour towards him and his mother Nightcloud clearly influenced him negatively, it was not an excuse for his horrible behaviour in regards to his half-Clan half-siblings during OotS. Also, the fact that his attempt on Jayfeather's life (and threatening a pregnant Poppyfrost) in The Fourth Apprentice never gets properly adressed again or even cleared up afterwards in any other book still irks me to this day. But yeah, I still thought he was at least interesting there and I'm glad he's fine now. In the famous word of Breezepelt himself: "Hooray!"

Redeemed Breezepelt, but that's not really saying much considering all the problems I have with how it was executed when taking OotS into account.

I'm torn between Breezepaw and post-OOTS Breezepelt, but I think I have to go with Breezepaw. He was an annoying little twit, but I felt like he was a well written character with a lot of layers.
Not a fan of OOTS Breezepelt because of the villain stuff, and I'm not a huge fan of his redemption - though I do enjoy him as a character post-redemption.

Redeemed Breezepelt. I really couldn't stand him before even if he was complex.

“Hooray!” Breezepelt who was extremely empathetic to Daisy in her novella and clearly has matured and has a much happier and healthier family life. Post Redemption Breezepelt is great.

CT and beyond Breezepelt. I like the cat he's become.

I have nostalgia for Breezepaw, and while I don't condone his actions, I enjoyed Breezepelt as a villain before CT.
It would have been kind of cool if he could have stayed a villain; but on the other hand, I'm glad he got redeemed, even though it would have felt more genuine if it had been from his POV, and if he acknowledged that he knew the DF wanted to bring down the clans. Like he could have said to Crowfeather something like, "I felt so isolated in my clan, and unloved, and Tigerstar and Brokenstar were like fathers to me. I was so angry, I wanted to destroy the Clans. I'm so sorry, dad. I was wrong. I don't want to hurt the Clans anymore." (Maybe Breeze would have worded it differently, but something like that would feel more realistic than him saying he thought the DF just wanted him to be a better warrior.)
So my vote will go to CT and after.
Also, even though I don't have the book with me, there was a scene in Fading Echoes where Tigerstar and the other Dark Forest cats were encouraging Breezepelt's hate, basically manipulating him, and if I recall correctly, it said he looked "kit like." Also, during that terrible scene where he tries to kill Poppyfrost (which was disgusting and something I do not condone), Breezepelt hesitates before following through with his attack.
Those scenes still had Breezepelt doing awful stuff, that I do not condone, and I felt disappointed in Breeze while reading those scenes. But because it showed him hesitating before the infamous attack, rather than just attacking without hesitation, and looking kit-like when Tigerstar was manipulating him; I questioned even back then if the Erins would eventually try to redeem him, since it seemed like they were trying to show he wasn't like Tigerstar or Brokenstar, who I don't recall ever hesitating before an attack, or looking "kit like" after they were kits.

I like Breezepelt in all his stages, but realistically he's the best after he's redeemed, though he caught my personal interest as OoTS Breezepelt.

Breezepelt should have died for redemption

Breezepelt should have died for redemption I wouldn't have minded that either, to be honest. But him apologizing to Lionblaze (in his own way, of course) was at least fine enough. Although him never doing so for Jayfeather (and Poppyfrost) regardless if his other half-brother had forgiven him or more likely not, still doesn't feel right to me.

I actually like redeemed Breezepelt? He's still kind of a tool (and gets called out for it), but you can see he loves his family and the fact he straight up left Windclan when they kicked out Crowfeather.
I would have been fine with him staying a villain, but I like him making up with Lionblaze and Crowfeather, realizing his actions were bad, the fact not all of his clanmates like him...
He's not a fave, but I definitely like him as a character
