I personally think your first had the most appropriate amount of bass bottom end. It is suppose to be a bit overpowering 
I see more of an issue in the kick bottom end, which was quite lacking in the original kick (I had to cut the 160 Hz area like crazy and add lots of below that to make it sound at least somewhat "normal"). I don't hear any issues with kick and bass bottom end clashing against each other, not in any of your three mixes. Just checked again and yeah, the bottom end in your first mix is best for this kind of music. You could improve from there by getting more bottom end to the kick drum; it's not about too much bass, but too little of kick drum down there.
What would be a better point of reference than this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkM-JrYqBu4
