A great deal, especially with the Astrofest discount if you're quick. It's a smaller chip and the pixels are small too, so it doesn't collect photons as quickly as the other cameras... but you get better resolution and great read noise.

All the options you presented are quite reasonable. Depends on what is most important to you (FOV size, resolution, imaging speed...)
