I preferred the look of the Xenomorph in episode 6. Not sure if it was a different suit/ puppet / model or what, but I thought its movements and face design looked better. Is it just me?

I thought the same and this one looks better . I got the impression that the xeno in episode 5 also looked a little different than the roidmorph.

Also, interestingly enough the cgi xenos' body frame look noticably different than the practical versions (i.e way lankier) imo which is a bit of a blunder.

I also like the second Xenomorph a bit better than the first one; it's more yellowish. What I dislike is the neck.

The head and the neck are too big, clearly a guy in a suit.

Reminds me of

Yeah, I think the main gripe is the thickness of the Xenomorph overall. Not to body shame Aliens but their eerie aesthetics are in part the reason they look so creepy and imposing. It would be like if they cast a bodybuilder as Slenderman... it just wouldn't have the same effect.
