My Ksyrium Disc was also on the list but they have odd max pressure ratings and are super narrow internal widths...
Honestly, there are no losers in your list. They are all excellent and have a big following. What you will need to do is make a priority list if you want to decide 'parametrically' what you desire in a wheel...including price.
There are many variables to consider. Looks as it turns out is probably the biggest reason people drop big money on deep section carbon wheels. I know this isn't a flattering side of human nature but the reality.

You can drive yourself crazy studying and deciding on the individual metrics...truthfully...from rim internal width to wheel section depth for aerodynamics...to even rear hub sound. Ease of maintenance factors in as well. Then their are custom wheels you choose from...have your wheels built to your spec's.

Not an easy selection. Perhaps one of the biggest decisions is what you were talking about before is tubeless versus clincher. Different camps divided.

Good luck.
