Of the planes that you selected, the Red Hawk is your best bet.
I agree. Of those that you mentioned, the Red Hawk is the one to go for.

However....

The BEST way to go for the money, in my opinion, is the T-Hawk.
For about $180, it includes two NiMH battery packs, a one hour AC/DC charger, an FM 3 ch. radio, and spare parts!.

If you can't afford $180, go for the Red Hawk.

Most importantly, before you fly anything, get the FMS flight simulator. It is free, and will save you from crashing your plane quite a bit. Do a Google search on it, and you will hit paydirt. You can get a good start by just buying a dual analog USB controller for your PC. It is not exactly the same as flying for real, but it gives you that valuable feel, and helps you get your directions straightened out.
