They have a gorgeous silver finish and a good reputation (from what I've read), but I have never personally used them. They're still in the box.

If I go with the Oryx I can see that the consensus is to go ahead and get Koolstops all around. Or should I go with the XC Pros? Or the Br550s?

Decisions, decisions.

Next comes the derailleurs.

I would go with the XC pros if I already had them. They are very pretty and I bet they work well too, although I don't have first hand experience with them. You can always swap them out later if you don't like them.
