The more the areas in focus appear separate to the rest of the image, the more the picture appears like a 2D "cartoon".
the question is not which ones show good 3D, but do you think the one with greater dof has more or less 3D than the one with less dof.
The issue is "separation" between areas in focus and the rest of the image. Please, do not confuse DOF with the way the lens renders the transition between planes. IMO, three-dimensional rendering comes from transition between focus plane and other planes, i.e. if the transition is smooth or "abrupt" (sharp, steep, etc.). From a physical point of view, I guess the transition could be partly determined by how much quickly, or slowly, the enlargement of the circle of confusion in the adjacent planes in front of or behind the focus plane occurs.
A smooth transition is more similar to what or eyes perceive, thus contributing to 3D illusion.
Images with shallow DOF have a visual impact for sure. But this is not necessarily related to 3D illusion.
