I liked the League of Women Voters' and the Fair Democracy2 maps. I think both those maps got western PA right. I'm in Beaver County and Wolf's map has us divided into 2 districts (3 and 12). 3 is ok as it's basically the entire western border counties up to Washington County. Wolf's map puts the southern half of Beaver County snaking around northern Allegheny County and then grabbing Westmoreland and Somerset. That makes little sense to me.

I forget which, but one of the 2 maps has Beaver County with the northern suburbs of Pittsburh (North Hills, Moon Twp, Sewickley etc). That makes for a very compact district although one could argue it's not the greatest aggregration of communities of interest.

I think I would be happy with either of those 2 maps.
