I'd recommend the bottom 3, the last one in particular.

Hard to go wrong with any of them. BCS is full of great recipes to get you started.

Re: Homebrewing book options
how to brew is a great intro and covers all the basics - it is available free online (but its an older edition). some of the info in it is a little dated or disputed (i.e. equipment) but its a decent starting point
if you know how the brewing process works, BCS is great for recipes and style guidelines.
havent read the other two (or i dont remember if i did, haha)
