If you could choose any concerto to memorize for competitions, which one would you choose and why? I'm not great at memorizing and I need to make sure that whatever I pick can be used over and over, if needed, and hopefully be flashy enough to make finals or win. For reference, I'm a graduate performance major.
Ideas I have:
Mozart
Weber 1/2
Spohr 1-4
Stamitz (too easy maybe?)
What do you think?

The ones you have listed will definitely be best for testing the waters in memorisation. You can really latch onto the underlying harmonies and remember where you're going because every phrase uses very clear building blocks of scales or arpeggios that you know.
The further along historically you go, the more involved the lines are harmonically and you have to count more on muscle memory than scales and chords you know, so memorisation gets harder.

I'd go with Mozart. I agree with the above poster on how all of these will be easier to memorize than later works.
Stamitz is, IMO, a little too easy.
