While spotting scopes are great for getting a better visual, especially across long distances, they work better when you can take on a stationary position. As with choosing a spotting scope the first consideration to make is what you need it for. Do you want it for nature, bird and wildlife watching, or observing the night sky, for example? And how much are you willing to spend? Bear in mind, too, that spotting scopes are most commonly used with a tripod which you will have to pay extra for. All the 3 brands you mentioned have good reviews but I have used Celestron’s flagship spotting scope and I am so happy with it. The best things are Extra-low dispersion (ED) glasses that automatically eliminates the visual defects like chromatic aberration. You can enjoy the true colors of nature with a super powerful resolution and contrast. The XTL lens coating is like icing on the cake. The coating is similar to the coating uses an observatory class telescopes. It helps to maximize the light transmission via the optical path for better images.
