Your list is pretty incomplete if you want the best trainers. They are all pretty good. I personally wouldn't have someone buy most of them on the list for a first, because I like some of the others, but if someone came to me with one of the birds on the list, I would not bad mouth any of them. They are all good planes and fly very well. I think you will have trouble finding a "best" because there are so many good ones that all do so much. Goldberg makes some of the best, as well, the LT-40 is a good one. There are a lot of good ones out there.
