I don't have any specific info on any of the bags that you mention, but I do have one piece of general advice.

For me, I have had suitcases with both a single-post handle (like the first two in your post -- the retractable handle is connected to the bag by only a single bar of metal) and a double-post handle (like the latter two in your post -- the retractable handle is connected to the bag by two bars of metal) and, though I prefer the look of the single post, I find the double post to be much more practical. If you have a laptop or messenger bag that you use as your carry-on, it is much easier to throw it on top of your suitcase and "lean" it against the double post than it is with a single post. This is especially useful when walking longer distances.
