"Keep originals" is most likely to preserve the best possible quality.

Use Keep Originals if your goal is the highest possible quality. That setting preserves the files as they were originally captured on the iPhone, avoiding any unnecessary conversion during transfer. Automatic may convert files for compatibility, which can be useful on some computers, but Keep Originals is the safer choice for retaining the best image quality.
