with 私の
私の夫 is a relatively formal way
私の良人 we don't use 良人 in everyday life
私の主人 is also a relatively formal way, but we don't say 私のご主人 for husband; it sounds like "my master" for a butler
私の旦那 is a casual way,
私の亭主 is also a casual way, and the last two sounds she looks down her husband.
with あなたの
あなたの夫 a little unnatural
あなたの良人 we don't use this.
あなたのご主人 sounds most probable and polite.
あなたの旦那 、亭主 both okay in casual conversation, but sound rude to the husband.
