I only have an opinion (of course) - the 172 is the best all around aircraft of the bunch, generally does everything asked of it within reason and when you need a part you can pick up the phone and order it.
All of the mentioned aircraft are pretty simple but none are still in production. I have owned five aircraft so far, two have been Cessna's including the one I have now. Check out the Cessna Pilots Association for general support similar to this forum.
