I do actually prefer it by itself, most of the time, but it'd depend on the combo.

---

I like Gwendolen, Gwendoline, and Gwyneira, so of the ones you listed, I'd pick Gwendolyn.

---

I like Gwyneth abstractly, but it's too associated with Paltrow.
Guinevere is pretty and regal seeming but a horse name to me.

I prefer it as a nn for Gwenda, Gwendalyn or Gwyneth

I think it can stand of its own. I like it. Gwendolen, Gwendolyn, Gwyneth, etc.

Gwen is technically a full name that's also used as a short form. I teach a couple of "just Gwen's".

---

That being said, Gwendolen and Guinevere are beautiful.

---

I also like Gwyneira.

---

I think I'd go for Gwendolen because even though I really like Gwen, it'd be fun to have the option o Dolly for a little kid.

Gwendolen Ruby
Gwendolen Sophia
Gwendolen Topaz
Gwendolen Ffion
Gwendolen Iris
Gwendolen Sabrina
Gwendolen Jessica
Gwendolen Rhiannon
Gwendolen Cecilia
Gwendolen Ruth
Gwendolen Valerie

I like Guinevere

I like Gwen by itself. If I have to choose a full, I choose Gwyneth.

I can't like Gwen or any of the names it might be short for because the gw sound is just really ugly to my ears. Like a fish gulping or something.

I like Gwen, both on it's own and as a nickname. I'd be more likely to use it as a nickname though - that way I can use two names that I like. ;-)
My favorite is Gwendolyn, or Gwendoline. I like the look of Gwyneth as wek, but not the sound of the -neth part. Maybe because it reminds me of Jeanette, a name I've never liked and which is quite dated here.
