If I remember correctly William Lane Craig's Kalam version is decent specifically because he includes the point that the first cause must be personal.

Well I formed a version of the argument recently around two versions of Lagrange's formulations of the principle, using Anselmian language about being "through oneself" and "through another". I agree it isn't great, and I only give two restorsion arguments for the PSR, but eh, it was written for a dialogue that will never happen, so I toned it down (since the discussion topic radically changed). I do give an explanation for the Divine Attributes we can derive out of it at the end. Whether one should accept a weak or strong PSR is not discussed here, as I don't necessarily discuss the issues with say, God's creative powers (plus I am sympathetic to a strong version of the PSR anyways). This is just a brief look. I think there are around five or six good arguments for God being intellectual for example, while I list only two. Here it is:
