I'm just wondering what the most popular version of the Haze Bomb is at 5*? I just made a Haze Bomb with UV CTR High and I want to make it 5* before selling it.
Most popular version of Haze Bomb?

I'd say a split between the Shivermist Buster and Ash of Agni. I'm no bomber, but from what I've read here Agni is pretty much what people use as an endgame bomb, unless they run into fire stratas.

All three see a great deal of use, although for differing reasons.
In my random-group-joining experience, Shivermist is most common, followed by Ash, then Venom. However, my own experience jumping in on groups isn't all *that* extensive.

I don't think I've even seen a 5 star poison bomb in game yet. Ash and Shivermist are definitely the most popular.

A few guildmates have the venom veiler. It can be extremely useful in arenas, against healers, or when you're adventuring a bit deeper than you should: reducing monster attack power greatly enhances your chances of surviving. The downside is that it's pretty much only useful if you're adventuring with others who can handle the task of dealing damage, whereas the ash of agni and shivermist buster have applications all by themselves.
EDIT: Corrected typo. Thanks to Espeonage for catching it.

Ash = Winning
Ash can be used everywhere effectively except for fire strata. It is my personal favorite, it decimates graveyards/arenas/danger rooms. Also, you can kite with it which becomes useful when you have dozens of jellies/gremlins/bots chasing after you. It has become my primary bomb. As a bonus, it is non-disruptive to sword users and they don't have to change their playstyle at all to accommodate. Ash is a must in ice strata since it melts the ice jellies. I'll seek out ice strata just so I can burn jellies.
Venom Veiler is so wonderful to have in arenas and danger rooms since it weakens everything it touches. In gremlin strata it becomes useful too with all those pesky menders around. Even so, I'll only carry it if I have a weapon slot free or if I know I'll run into several arenas/danger rooms along the way.
I like Shivermist, it is fun for locking down wolvers or half the arena while we battle it out with the other half. Probably the most effective CC bomb out there. The biggest issue is that it is really disruptive to normal tactics like kiting around the perimeter of a room or knocking back enemies, so I'll only use it if I know the rest of the party is comfortable with the freezing status effect and can use it to their advantage.
When determining which bomb is most useful though, you really have to consider the end user. Is it a full time bomber? The CTR High might be wasted since demo equipment already provides some CTR. A bomber can hit CTR Ultra/Max with a bomb that only has a CTR Low/Medium UV. In which case, which bomb would be most useful for a swordsman? Ash to soften the opponent, Venom to debuff or Shivermist for CC? You might put it up for sale and then mention that you will convert it into any 2* bomb requested. (Or just keep it for your self!)

"whereas the venom veiler"
Ash of Agni? Haha.
Don't waste your time and money making it 5* before selling. You won't get much more money and it will cost you a ton to level it up.
Sell it now, or keep it for yourself.
