I have a couple of Nikon Pro-Staff's and like them for the $$...they are clear and hold zero very well. My primary whitetail rifle currently has had a 3-9x50 Nikon Pro-Staff on it for 4 seasons now and it's held zero since day one and has taken better than 25 deer in that time out to 350 yards. I also have a 3-9x40 BDC on a 7mm-08 that has been trouble free.

One other scope I would recommend you look at that is not on your list is the Swift Premier...I have several of their scopes and a 3-9x40 can be had for under $200. The one on my 270 (3-9x40) has been on it for over 15 years and hasn't required any adjustment since day one...I have the same scope on a 7mm Mag and it too has been flawless for over a decade and both rifles have spent a lot of time in the woods on hunts. I also have a 4-24x50AO on a long-range 308 target rifle and love it as well. Lifetime warranty, very clear optics, and great eye relief. In my opinion, Swift is one of the best hidden secrets of optics world out there.
