Default Choice for 1st plane

Hello All,
I am looking to buy my first RC Plane soon and would like some help selecting between the following four models. Mainly, I want something that is easy to fly, hard to crash, and durable when it does crash. A small plane would also be good, as I would like to be able to pack it up and check it in when I fly (on a real plane). My intuition would be to go for the WattAge Cessna 180, except I am worried about how it will do in winds (I live in West Los Angeles and there is rarely a completely calm day). So I've got it down to these four, please give me some input, thanks in advance:
