All the tires you have listed will fit. For road riding I would choose the higher pressure ones with the narrow tread. I have an old MTB that has run tires from 1.5" up to 1.95". Currently it is running a 1.75" city tread kevlar tire. IIRC they are the Performance Forte City Gotham.

My go to tires in most cases are Schwalbe, a bit expensive but well worth the money IMHO. I primarily use kevlar belted tires on my bikes for flat resistance. There are a lot of good tires out there and it can be hard to chose the best bang for the buck.
