gday pat.
i dont own any of the above but i have used the berkley (heavier model)
if you want to use larger jigs (3.0/3.5) then i can tell you the berkley one handles them well and has plenty of grunt to work them hard if you want to.
i have a majorcraft pandra which is rated 2.5-3.5 jigs but i much prefer the stiffness of the heavier berkley rod for the larger jigs.
they arnt the best rod on the market, but still have fuji guides. although they are s/s frame guides, so it does add a little weight and makes it a bit tip heavy but unless you're fishing for hours on end this might not matter.......but unless you want to spend double what the berkley one is worth then you wont get titanium frames.
i havnt seen let alone used the others you mention.
so.....if you want to use larger jigs and jig them agresively then go for one with a heavier rating, like the 8'10" berkley does.
hope that helps.
