The food at Scenic World is nothing to write home about, so if that is a selling point for any of the tours then ignore that! A meal at one of the pubs in the Mountains would be great - Grandview at Wentworth Falls, for example. All thing being equal I'd probably go for the tour that has the most comfortable looking seats on the bus, if there are traffic problems between Lawson and Katoomba you might be spending quite a while in your seat.
I know the Three Sisters is the big wow place in the mountains, but I've always thought the best view up there is from Govett's Leap.^
