I want to express the following. Is one of those sentences incorrect? which one is the most usual?

1. Consider people with different interests than your own.

2. Consider people with different interests from your own.

3. Consider people whose interests are different from yours.

4. Consider people whose interests differ from yours.

They're all OK, but I would actually choose a fifth permutation, I think:

Consider people whose interests are different from your own.
