Equally unfamiliar w/ all three, I'd opt for the Brilliant, because of the
price.  You'll be buying 150 or 160 CDs and there is a chance beyond the
merely minimal that at least one CD, if not more, will be defective.  While
my own experience ordering multi-disc sets of CDs, by Brilliant and others,
has been one of getting my defective CDs replaced, the sets were smaller.
It takes a long time to listen to 150 CDs or more to make sure none are
defective.
