The Qur'an out of all of those.

@Babylon true it has no mistakes and it does not have β€œ versions”
Only translations.
@Islamreligion that's not even what I was referring to about it. In terms of authenticity, we know the scribes who wrote the books. We have reports about them, whether they were trustworthy, truthful and honest. We have the original text, carbon dated to the lifetime of the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). An example would be the Burmingham Qur'an. Why is that one important in religious academia studies is because it was confirmed by non-Muslims about the date. There are other mushafs like it so you cannot deny its authenticity. Same with the ahadith which give time, place, and contexts to when many individual verses were revealed, as well with regards to general Islamic history. We know that Muslim history was the most academically rigorous and well documented, hence it was properly preserved. No evidence of removed verses or books and chapters, no missing contents, no unknown "authors" who are not giving direct revelation from the source, and no contradictions.

I personally was interested in knowing how the Qur'an was preserved and how the other scriptures were preserved. Alhamdulillah, I got yo know what I wanted and still try to keep learning.
