The Fuji S12s is an outlier on the low end of the ranking line-up. The Royale is next closest to the starting line. (There are some awesome Fujis, but these are amongst the more ordinary offerings. If there were a Finest or a Newest or America, it would be worth taking a closer look at). I don't know about Centurions (it's like the 80's never even happened when I look at bikes). I've yet to come across a poorly made Miyata, and the 710 is pretty nice. Some folks really love Bridgestones (and I don't recall hearing anyone say anything worse than, "it didn't fit quite right", or that the ride feel wasn't quite what was hoped for - but from what I've seen, their following tends to drive the prices up some.

So from your list, I would set those 2 Fuji's off to the side and start assessing sizes and components on the others with a bit more interest.
