I would go with the brutus of the 3 mentioned. First off the bench moves away from the rest of the bench/lat pulldown which will allow you many more exercises to perform. Marcy makes basically the same bench as the "brutus" for about 200 dollars found over at academy sports and outdoors if you have one near you. This is what I have and I love it. I can do squats and other exercises with the adjustable high/low pulley system.

Any questions just ask.

i don't know much about benches since i don't have much experience, but if it was me i'd try to get a bench with a nice hard leather. The one i bought at walmart for 100$, the leather is a P.O.S. Bad bench just doesn't stabalize your body much.
