Depends on what you intend to clean. Any of the models you list would provide good service in the proper situations.

For the prices you quote, they must be cold water, which in my opinion, has limited capabilities compared to hot water.

Keep in mind with any of the rigs you mention, you will need a water tank. Many residential plumbing lines won't provide 8-9 gpm.

With that in mind, for washing residential concrete and pavers, I'd say 6 gpm @3000 is adequate. It provides good cleaning power, and uses less water, which may allow you to operate portable or off a trailer, with only a garden hose hookup.

Something to think about.
