Great that you have experience with so many train varieties.
RailJet is ok but it feels more like a regular train and is perhaps comparable to the Pendolino train in Czech Republic.
Out of ICE and TGV I would prefer TGV (EuroStar actually) because it feels like a proper super-train! ICE has a better design though.
