I have no experience with any of those jackets, but it occurs to me that since they're all fairly heavy you might consider using two lighter jackets layered.

Personally, I get cold easily, so always carry a down jacket. Sometimes, though, it's too much. So, a thin down jacket plus a thin synthetic jacket works better for me because it's more versatile. Also, I like the idea of having a synthetic jacket in case of a worst-case situation where things get wet.

Having a hood is definitely desirable. I'm not sure if all the jackets you mention have hoods, but I'd eliminate any that don't.

At the risk of muddying the waters further, Montbell has some you could look at. Maybe the Alpine Light parka.
