I can't speak on the brands/quality of the bikes you posted, but I can tell you that the Compact is equivalent to the triple that you're thinking of getting (so I agree with CybrogQueen).

A friend who is mad about spinning on her bike because she had knee surgery just replaced her triple with a compact because it gives her the same gears she needs to climb.

This should also open up your options to other bikes.

The only other thing I would say is go to your LBS and try all the different bikes out there before you make a purchase.
