Most of them are preferences, but this one:

The original is not wrong, it just scans somewhat awkwardly.

Eli> And this one? What's wrong with using "which" in that case?
Nothing, except that there are some grammarians who believe that there
is an iron-clad infallible rule which governs when to use 'which'
versus 'that', which most of us donʼt care about [1] (and Iʼve yet to
see an example where using the 'wrong' one was unclear).

Footnotes:
[1] Please nobody try to explain this rule. Itʼs been done, it
doesnʼt need to be done again.
