Good old tried and true 30-06 would be my choice. However, I think for what you want any of the calibers mentioned would work fine.

Unless you're looking to use bullets larger than 150 gr. (unnecessary to use anything larger if you're limiting yourself to deer hunting), you're going to be disappointed if you buy a .30-06 because you don't think the .280 shoots flat enough. The .280 is a bit flatter shooting than a .30-06.
