For $250, it's nearly impossible to touch the Bushnell Elite 3-9x40. It's a bit bigger than the others you've mentioned, but the glass is in a different league: think VX3, not VXII.
This assumes that size doesn't matter (had to do it) to you, and that you're OK with a fixed scope.
Are you talking about hitting pocket gophers at 500 yards, or whitetails at 100? The latter will take more scope (and frankly, more $$$) than a 3-9x40, and the former could be done every bit as well with a straight 4x.
If you can give us more details, we can give more specific info.
