For starter road bike, that's good. Just try to make sure it fits. Very important. Hopefully if the shop is good as you say you will have a correct size bike and they will fit you to it.

My first road bike did not. $1100+ waste money I just sold for a bargain to new owner that fits it.

Eventually, if you decide you road ride enough / love it, you might upgrade to carbon. The carbon helps suck up the road, versus your body sucking it up. Aluminum is light, but it's rough to ride, particularly as distance increases. Carbon is quite a bit more unfortunately.

Not sure what you are riding now, but I think any of your choices would be ok.
