I like the floating square more because it took me a moment to figure out how the illusion worked. The 16 circles illusion was easy for me. the rightmost row of circles seemed like circles from the beginning, in fact, it's almost hard for me to see the rectangles on that row instead of circles. The floating square illusion also seemed like it was more complex and baffled me more, as the square often changed what angle it floated at. I wasn't able to see anything but the floating square until I focused on the edge of the picture and saw the different angles of the shapes.
(Also, the floating square is nice and colorful. Color is always good.)

I liked the 16 circles. As soon as a couple appeared, they then all appeared.
The floating box appeared immediately. Not as challenging as the circles. Fun to look at though.

I like the floating square better because of the movement as well as the illusion of floating. The movement illusion that I see depends on where I look. The background goes to the left or the square goes to the right; sometimes both.
I have trouble seeing all 16 circles at once on the other one. I have done it but I usually see only four or sometimes eight at once.
I saw 16 circles after a few seconds. The square is nice too, but seemed more obvious to me. Much weirder is this one:
