Yeast experts, what would be close to W68

Yeast experts, Im looking for a yeast strain that is a rename or close to W68 from Hefebank Weihenstephan.

Not sure which one would be the closest.

White lab Strains:
WLP300 Hefeweizen Ale Yeast
WLP351 Bavarian Weizen Yeast
WLP380 Hefeweizen IV Ale Yeast

Wyeast Strains:
3056 - Bavarian Wheat Blend
3333 - German Wheat
3638 - Bavarian Wheat
3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen

I'm going to say WLP300 or Wy3068, which are supposed to be the same strain.

Thanks Kirks, I was thinking 3068.

This might help in the future. It's not perfect and there are 'known' errors but it works in a pinch.

SpanishCastleAle, that looks likes the same chart I found on Mrmalty's site which I use quite a bit. I honestly haven't brewed enough to be able to tell the difference in yeast tastes, so I'm experimenting a bit.
