Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I want something flexible- okay for crits and sprints but also centuries and distance. I just want a well rounded but still agressive styled frame

-you're in Hawaii, you could ride a cheap Schwinn and still be happy.
Look for a road racing frame with slightly relaxed angles.

the leader or the fetish.

For centuries and distance, you should lean towards the steel Colnago... from your list.
