My horse is an Hermes model?!

This post is a bit of a photo dump, but I also need bitting advice. I sorta stole this from L. Williams over at Viva Carlos, because it looks freakishly like Limerick! My horse is an Hermes model... NBD :)
The horsey model
Proof #1
Proof #2: He even likes to stare at himself in mirrors 
Proof #3
Other than the facial markings and the sock on the left (not right) front leg, it's totally him!! *UPDATE: thank you Hillary for being picky and reminding me to add the part about the sock ;)

Now, an interesting comparison of how Limerick used to jump (normal) vs. crazy weird reindeer jump that he recently developed: 

Being a normal pony, complete with bascule and head down...
REINDEER! I mean really, he looks like he belongs on the front of Santa's sleigh


Finally, the three bits I'm considering after I decided that the loose ring snaffle just doesn't give me enough steering power... ideas? Does anyone use either a full cheek, eggbutt, or dee ring snaffle? What are the differences between them and what are they useful for? Any advice would be most appreciated :)
