Every one of those saddles is GARBAGE. You do not want a cruiser seat if you're going to ride the bike regularly.

Get a regular bike saddle, that fits your sit bones (ischial tuberosities) properly, and realize that it's going to take a few rides to get used to.

Go to an actual bike shop or two, find one that will let you trade saddles until you find one that fits, and go from there.

Buying a $12.99 cruiser seat over the internet, at 330lbs, is a recipe for discomfort and not riding the bike.
