I'm sorry that I'm picking "other" on all of these. I do quite like the ponies, though I'm not sure if I'm hardcore enough to want a plush. My pony collection consists of one figure at the moment. I might pick up one or two more figures eventually, but...

As for which pony, I can't decide between Twilight and Rainbow and Pinkie. I like them all. I think a Rainbow or Pinkie would sell better, since they seem to be the most popular. Making OC ponies is also a fun idea, though I wouldn't want one of my OC pony. My pony is a joke, since my friends tell me "all you ever do is complain."

I'd rate Fluttershy a 4. The plush is adorable (and I applaud embroidering the buttmark), but I'm not sure how well the mane translates. The only pony plush I've seen have individual strands of hair for the manes, which I think I would prefer on a plush like Fluttershy. However, I think your style would work great for some of the shorter-haired ponies.

I'm really not sure on the price... Maybe try to do it auction style and see what happens? Personally, I'd start somewhere between $30 and $40. As a side note, are there any pony communities that you could sell these in? I've noticed that custom plush on pkmncollectors can sell for 3-4 times what they would on ebay/etsy/DA.

I'm not sure what the last question is asking, exactly. I think a plush like this should sell for at least $60, considering the embroidered mane and eyes and how much labor you put into it... but I'm not sure what demand is like for pony plush. That's why the answer on the previous question was lower, btw. Actually starting an auction at $60+ could turn people off.
