I originally chose Rome Shuttle Limousine, the third on your list, based on recommendations and the fact that there was no prepayment required, you didn't have to provide a credit card to make the reservation and you can pay with either cash or credit card. Rome Airport Shuttle, the first one on your list costs more and you have to provide your CC so I never tried them. Your link for the second choice doesn't work - so I don't know who you're referring to.
I've lost track on how often I've used Rome Shuttle Limousine, but I've never had a problem. But to be fair, I've never been picked up in anything as pristine as the Mercedes shown on their website and I have had drivers who barely spoke any English. But the cars have always been clean and the drivers have always been professional and friendly and knew exactly where to take me.
The link you provided for Rome Shuttle Limousine didn't work for me either. (And they do have prices on their website if you know where to look).
The price is €40 for up to 3 ppl, and they charge €5 extra for night hours 21.30 to 06:00. There is no additional charge for VAT and no additional charge to pay with a CC.
Here's the main site:
http://www.romeshuttlelimousine.com/
Then you need to click on "Services" seen towards the top right of the screen
Then you need to click on "Transfers to and from the major airports in Rome (from any city to Rome and viceversa)"
And then (finally!) you see their prices:

I usually receive an email reply from Charlotte, sometimes Nina, within 24 hours.
Hope this helps.

I'm glad to hear yours and TheAAdmiral's transfers worked out, thanks for taking the time to post! There's another thread here where a FTer's experience was not acceptable - and he also booked because of my posts
Perhaps he ended up with one of the temp drivers?Here's the ST thread I'm referring to (and I link back to the FT post with the bad experience - my user name there is Jady):

We took sk3 recommendation and used this service. Needless to say they were excellent. Our original request was confirmed by email within 24 hours. When our flight was delayed 2 hours we emailed again and received a prompt response - no problem though there would be an extra 5E charge to cover parking time. The driver was waiting with a sign when we landed and then a short walk to the garage. On the return the driver showed up a few minutes early and got us to the airport quickly thru morning rush hour traffic. The only minus is that neither driver took credit cards, so make sure you get/have some Euros when you land.

Just go to an official traffic stand. No solicitors. There are tons of cabs. It's a fixed rate of about 50 euros, plus something for over a certain number of bags, so you don't have to worry about being taken for a ride. Just quote the rate when you get in and get the agreement and go. Much better than hoping your driver shows up.
I almost always take the train because I'm usually traveling by myself, but remember, the train doesn't drop you off at the hotel. You then need to take a cab, unless you make the mistake of staying near the train station. Also, the train won't be cheaper with four people. I'd take the train anyway if it was rush hour, because I hate being stuck in traffic, and I always walk from the train station to where I stay, even though it's a couple of miles, because I enjoy it and only carry a small bag. Remember if you take the train to avoid traffic, it will be a crowded and hot train.
