Go with Crew or State if you don't want to spend a time looking for second-hand deals

I'd stay clear of the sole, Detroit and Fuji you've listed because they're all overpriced for what they're offering.

If you're serious about bunny hopping on a Fixie the crew defender would be the best option as it's a begginer FGFS but you won't be going very fast on roads. That's not a bad thing coz sometimes doing tricks at a slightly higher speed is equally as fun as going fast on the roads.

If you're deadset on going fast and whip-skidding in the streets then the other remaining option from your list would be the best bet. I would recommend going with the largest size frame possible for your height. You'll never run the risk of being in an awkward position: if you want to go fast, dropbars and a longer stem will put you in the optimal sprinting position; if you want more comfort (and more weight on the back wheel to help with tricks) you can fit risers and a shorter stem. The longer reach of a larger frame will avoid toe strike with the front wheel which can be problem for tall lads with big feet. You might even one day get into bar spins by switching the front wheel to a 650c or by switching to a freestyle fork. The longer reach will help with that, too.
