Out of the list,
my preference would be for the McIntosh unit. It will give you great sound and outstanding reliability. Plus it will handle easily any program material you wish to play.
Another Integrated amp option may be a BAT vk300 it is hybrid design with a tube preamp and solid state output. Its sound is very similar to the McIntosh 2275. Not quite a tube amp sound but pretty tube like in its sonic character. Also well built and very reliable.
Evens so you wont go wrong with a Conrad Johnson, Rowland, or Jadis pieces either. I cannot comment on the others cause I never heard an offering from those companies.
For what its worth I could live with any one of them. So the other factor that I would weigh is accessibility for maintenance and service. Of what you listed the McIntosh will present to you the greatest amount options should you need it repaired.
