Default Variation in theme in same shoot

I would like any opinion, or advice on the following:
We recently went on a steam train trip to the country side and I took few pictures.
While editing them, I applied different "themes" or "editing styles" (not sure what you would call it) to the pictures. Some pictures just worked better in sepia or black and white, where others were fine in normal colour.
So, the steam train company has asked for a copy of my pictures, and my question is this:
If I was a professional photographer, would it matter that the same editing style or theme is not used throughout? Do I give them the edited pictures just like that, or do I give them the originals?

Any thoughts?

Ultimately I think it depends on what exactly it is they want, and how you feel about it.

Did they see your photos while you took them, as well as your edited versions? If they did, and then asked for copies, aside from asking for some form of compensation, I would give them the edited versions. Whether or not they're all edited similarly isn't necessarily important, unless you (or they) plan to make a cohesive collection. Then it could be important.

Honestly, if they just want copies and don't really plan to use them, supposing you offered to oblige, I'd just give them some small copies of the originals, unedited. Maybe that's rude of me, but there's no sense in working to make something spectacular for someone else - unless that's what you want.

No matter how you go about this, make sure you get some credit. You never know where your photos could end up! That's just my two cents.
