Don't stress abilify is the safest.

Abilify was a nightmare for me. I got muscle stiffness/dystonia even with Cogentin, it made me super tired, gave me a bad tremor, akathisia, and actually made me depressed. And it didn't even work because I still had bad breakthrough hallucinations.
In terms of side effects and effectiveness, I'd say thorazine has been the best for me. I don't need a lot of it to work and it doesn't make me gain weight, have muscle stiffness, tremor, etc. and it doesn't even make me tired. However it does give me galactorrhea, which should be a deal breaker, but I'd pick that over akathisia any day...
