I voted for Rukmini, because she shows us what true devotion to the Lord is. I also love Radha a lot, but I don't know if she actually married Shri Krishna. Some versions say she did, but some say she didn't. Does anyone know correctly?

Radha didn't marry Krishna, they were lovers.... But, she did marry a devotee of Krishna, who is considered a form of Krishna....
One more thing though, All the wives that you mentioned above were forms of Radhaji, so, technically by choosing any of these names, we are choosing the same person, Radhaji, that Krishna dearly admired and loved....

Radha Devi is an incarnation of Mata Lakshmi. It says so in the Bhagavata Purana. The reason she did not marry Shri Krishna is that she was forced to marry Abhimanyu, the son of Jatila. (Note that this is not the same Abhimanyu who died in the Kurukshetra). In his past life, Abhimanyu did tapas to Lord Vishnu and asked him a boon that Mata Lakshmi would become his wife in his next life. Lord Vishnu granted him the boon, so Radharani was forced to become the wife of Abhimanyu though she loved Shri Krishna.
Rukmini Devi was also a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi. Actually, she is said to be the incarnation of Sita Mata, who of course is the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi.
Satyabhama was the incarnation of Dharti Ma (Goddess Earth), but we must remember that Dharti Ma is ultimately a manifestation of Mata Lakshmi. It says so in the Devi Bhagavatham. So ultimately, Satybhama was also the incarnaion of Devi Lakshmi.
I also read somewhere that each of Shri Krishna's 8 principle wives were a form of the 8 Ashta Lakshmis: Adi Lakshmi (Rukmini), Dhana Lakshmi (Satyabhama), Dhanya Lakshmi (Jambavathi), Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Dhairya Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi, and Vidya Lakshmi. All these ultimately were forms of Maha Lakshmi.
The 16,000 princesses Shri Krishna married were the re-incarnations of all the women who desired Shri Rama in the Ram-Avatar.
