They're all good...
CM90 was pushrod engined 6volt made from 1965-1967. Always grey. You can tell them by the exposed forks and low headlamp. May be hard to get engine spares nowadays.
C90 was OHC engined 6volt made 1967 to 1983.
Bolt-on fuel tank. Enclosed forks and headlamp in the handlebars. This is the classic round-light C90 for looks. Points ignition.
C90C was the first 12volt CDI enclosed-tank model, but still with round headlamp. Always plain blue or red. Made for one year only, 1983-84. A good one to find though - early looks, late running gear!
C90E Economy Cub was square-lamp 12volt made from 1984 until 2003. Metallic paint. CDI ignition and 12volts means low maintenance and all spares are easily sourced.
Happy hunting!
