    Why choose? Get all three.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Given the data, I would vote for Contestant #1 only because Florida is nice on cars. By nice I mean without any road salt during the winters, the undercarriage probably looks the best.

    But of course, I'm not there to do an inspection.

    I think #1 or #2, less risk of salt exposure. Would prefer to inspect the cars.

    Florida and nearby areas are not necessarily a good thing, if the car has been parked outside a lot.
    Headlights, paint, HVAC unit and other things are fried from the heat/sun.

    Good point. I forgot about that. If it's close to the Ocean, I've heard that salt air could be a problem.

    Needs to be inspected.

    Unless your waterfront, that would not be a problem. If you're on waterfront property then you should have a garage.
