Difficult matter, imho. I have been experimenting with a waterfall last year 
with rather unconclusive results. I used Chris Colefax's spray.inc for the 
waterfall.

It is similar to your first attempt. Especially at close up, it looked 
unrealistic. In the distance, it looked fairly good. I tried media too, but 
that took ages to render indeed.

Still, I think that your first attempt looks best.
