My choice is:

unselfishly

however I'd say:

The more you do things unselfishly, the better you feel.

or better:

The more unselfishly you do things, the better you feel.

The others don't really make for good English.

Let's let unselfishly modify the clause, as in your first sentence. It carries deeper meaning that way.

I prefer "selflessly".
