Although many tournaments consider Final Destination and all omega stages to be one and the same, I'm going to share the data I collected on how you should classify omega stages. I created stage builder blueprints of each 3DS stage in order to capture the exact proportions of each stage. I used the 2D Ω Flat Zone 2 to get the most accurate proportions without any 3D objects messing with the perspective and I used Mega Man because he's the closest size to marios 2x3 grid size without a constantly changing standing animation. I tested it to make sure the blast lines are as accurate as possible.
I divided each 3DS omega stage into 4 main categories: Walls, Pillar, Asymmetric, and Open.
As you can see Walls is the most common followed by Open, Asymmetric, and finally Pillar.
Category 1: Walls
Category 2: Pillar
Category 3: Asymmetric
Category 4: Open

The original photo where I first categorized each stage into these four categories.
How can you effectively use this information?
If you find yourself choosing between Omega stages in a tournament how do you know what's the best one for you? It mostly depends on your character and your opponents character. Who's good at wall jumping, wall clinging, horizontal recovery, vertical recovery, spiking, etc.
- If you main a wall jumper I would recommend you choose a category 1: Walls stage unless it favors your opponent more than yourself. Little Mac is the perfect example because he has the worst recovery and one of the best wall jumps in the game.
- If your character is good at going under stages pick an Open or Asymmetric stage. Asymmetric if you don't want your opponent to be able to go under as easily or if you want to be able to wall jump on the way up.
- Choose the only Pillar stage Arena Ferox Ω if you don't want yourself or your opponent to go under the stage or to easily wall jump up the side.

I will post the Wii U omega stage blueprints and categorizations if enough people want me too.

- Final Destination/ Final Destination Ω
Note: if the Ω form stage is selected in the Wii U version, the bright flash that transitions from the planets' background to the sky background no longer makes the fighters silhouettes. Other than that they are exactly the same. Underside of stage has asymmetrical collision. Exact same as Wii U counter part.
