Currently I am having issues deciding what kind of GUI for the overlay for the client to my server.

It needs exp and health progress bars (armor too in case they have it), and their level.

I am just not sure how to have the layout as. So far these are my suggestions

(Bottom of screen)

It basically hides the build inventory when the building is disabled (same for painting in case I add an overlay near where the paintcan is)

Here's the other one.

This would go to the bottom left of the screen, since there is usually nothing there. I think it would fit best there anyways.

Definitely don't do the first, it looks really odd.
The second one is pretty good, but also pretty generic-looking.

Here's an idea:

This is at the bottom of the screen. I don't know how easy the circular bar would be (and I have a feeling the answer is "not very") but I think your GUI does need to have more character.

I'll try to do that, I actually had an idea for that

That's definitely better! Personally, I'd make the frame around the square a little thinner, but that's just my preference. Very nice.

Nice, but the text style is ugly. The healthbar might look better on the bottom.

What kind of text style should I use?

I dunno, maybe Impact for the level. For the health, either Impact or a different sans-serif font (Tahoma? Verdana?)
And yeah, I agree that the health bar should be at the bottom.

This one looks best so far, though I'm not sure how to do the circular bar either
