Only have experience of the TNF and Staika out of the ones you listed. Short version I can recommend the Staika over TNF and really only based on how easy it is to pitch and how the design keeps the inner tent dry and clean even if you pitch it in rain. I tried the Staika on Elbrus in mostly hot/dry weather (good ventilation) and one gale (no problems at all). My Elbrus friend is 193 cm and he had plenty room in the tent. Good vestibules and personally I prefer the "rolling out" of the tent on one side each rather than having to leave the tent at the foot or head end of the tent. Hope this helps.
