Which NOC to choose when multiple fit my current job partially?

I work in a really unique position in an industry that cannot really be categorized into the larger framework of "finance" or "IT" or "tech," etc. My role encompasses aspects of several NOC, but the one it fits the most is not something I could typically associate with my job.

Specifically, I feel like my job is:
60% - 4162 - Fits my job role well, but this category title is completely different from my job title
30% - 4163 - Encompasses some aspects of my job, but this category title is the closest fit to my job title
10% - 0125 - Encompasses a small aspect of my job but is the most high-ranking/impressive NOC that my job could fall under

So my question is, should I choose the NOC that makes my application strongest (0125), or the one that fits the best by job role/title (4162 or 4163)?

For now, I've listed 4162 as it's thh closest fit to my experience, but my concern is that, if accepted, it would put me in a job pool that doesn't really fit what my past experience has been related to. I would most likely seek future employment in the 4163 category.

TIA for any advice!

I just wanted to add that my job title is Senior Research Manager, so the only reason I would consider 0125 is because it is the closest to matching my level seniority.

If all those noc's are skilled then it doesn't matter. Pick the best one. You don't get any advantage for having a better noc. And you can have lots of different NoCs in your experience.
