You don't have to pick just one.

For myself, I've been using Dominus since I got my AoA. I like it (in part because a putative ancestor so styled himself in Henry's time) and it's appropriate. Think of it as having a menu to choose from, depending on how you feel today.

I like both of the last two. :) Wish I could be of more help, but I'm stuck at "Lady", and am quite happy to stay that way, so I haven't looked into anything else.

Kinda depends on whether you want to go for rank or the sound of the words, I suppose.... I like the sound of "Posadnik" (and people would more likely figure out how to pronounce it more easily) but if you want to go for the rank and the Slavik-ness, then Boiarin. It's going to be harder to teach people how to say it, though, and people are most likely going to revert to "Master." Creatures of habit, we are.
