I am not familiar with those three trainers but there are some definite questions I would ask before buying one - no matter the brand.
How is the power curve? Some trainers don't have a very realistic power curve (meaning that it doesn't closely mimic what you do on the road). In simple terms, increasing your speed from 5mph to 10mph in the real world requires less of an increase in watts than going from 20 mph to 25mph. So if you get one with a rather unrealistic power curve, then you may be in for a surprise going outside and trying to duplicate what you did indoors.
How big is the flywheel? Flywheel size is related to how you will feel riding the trainer in terms of the pedal stroke, momentum, etc. IMO, a smaller flywheel makes things harder - whether you want that or not, is up to you obviously.
Enjoy your trainer, they are very useful
