Out of those I would say the Xigmatek dark Knight.. It's bad ***
What are your system specs?
If your budget allows go for a thermalright true or prolimatech megahalems..They are the best IMO.

It depends on what CPU you are trying to cool.

The 3-heat-pipe direct contact coolers are best with Intel Core 2 Duo & Quad.

For AMD, 1156 & 1136 the Thermalright True's & the PM's rule.

Small die, so probably a 3-heat-pipe direct contact cooler would the most cost effective at around $30.
