Which male in your opinion would produce neat looking offspring with sister?
Brother and sister are not realated.

This is sister, the female

This is elderly, a male

This is Brother, a male

Well since I'm up late I'll give it a shot, but I'm usually wrong.

One thing you do not name the morphs, so I'll guess. Maybe just the example may help?

Sister (the female) looks Anery A.

Elderly male looks normal phase.

Brother looks ghost. That's Anery A plus Hypo

If no snake is HET for anything (which I doubt)

Match #1

SisterxElderly male would give you
normals all Het of Anery.

Sister have large black rings but the elderly male does not. I'll presume a range between the two. I like wide rings, some like narrow. It comes down to what you like. Other features are hard to tell since sister is anery.

Match #2

SisterxBrother male would give you. (if that male is ghost)
Anerys all het for hypo.

Now, that is IF all snakes are not het for ANYTHING. An, just my opinion, many if not most snakes are het for something. The 2 most common would be amel and anery A. I think?

You may hook 2 up and get some amel babies. But if it was my choice, I'd let the elderly male mate.

My logic is he has been waiting the longest, and just out of respect for my elders I say let him go first! .

Sister is Anery
Elderly is Wild Type
Brother is Ghost (at least I think) - which is Anery Hypo

Anery is an extremely common gene. If you are looking for easiest to sell, anery is not much easier to sell than normal.

Elderly Sister will produce some or all normal, and may produce some other morphs from hidden hets (IE you may get some amel if both are het amel, you may get some snow and anery if sister is het amel and elderly is het amel and anery, etc.)

Brother Sister - every offspring will at least be anery, but hidden hets may produce some double morphs, you are more likely to get double morphs from brother sister than from elderly sister.

I would do brother sister and see what comes out.

Well you got a better answer here than on monster fish !
My input would be to not think about it so much and just pick One pretty is up to you and beauty is in the eye of the snake holder !

Absolutely.
It is all in the eye of the keeper.

The Cal Kings I like best are banded, and it seems few people appreciate the banded Cal Kings these days - I have several long term projects started using the banded phenotype - and I already know that when I reach my goal, most buyers would pass them over for first generation aberrant striped X banded.
