I find the bulbous options in #1-3 disturbing. But you're on to something with #4-6. The pointy-nosed one reminds me pleasantly of Dennis the Menace's dad.
I know people who think smiley faces are stupid. I use them anyway. I like people to know I'm happy. :)
I agree with missy -- bulbous = bad. I sometimes find that if someone (like David or gisel's examples) uses their own particular brand of smiley that I start associating that with the person's traits.
Not that I think about this stuff way too much or anything. :=)
