I've got the Park and like it. It's the only one I've owned so I can't compare with the others. I gets the chain clean without making too much mess. I'd buy it again.

I use one of these ... wireless is a great feature and also there is an alert if your cleaning too much.

It was $10. I was really shocked. Well, I got it home and tried it on my grimy mountain bike chain, and it cleaned it up and it looks like a brand new chain. I had to change the cleaner 4 or 5 times it was so nasty but it cleaned it up perfectly. I would guess that either one of the ones you have listed would work just as well though. I know I like mine.

Goodluck and great biking,
