Barcelona apartments: what is best area?

We are looking to rent an apartment in Barcelona in August. It's been a very long time since I was last there, so I'm not sure anymore of neighborhoods to look in.

We have found several apartments to consider.
One in Born area, near Picasso museum
One between Arc de Triomf and Eixample, near Placa de Tetuan
One near La Sagrada Familia
One near Eixample, off Carrer de Arago

Are any of these areas better than others? Safety concerns?

We don't mind walking to get places, but I like being close to a metro stop. I don't mind city noise, but it's also nice to get off the beaten path.

Thanks for input!
