Chris, The advantage the ewe has over the others that you listed is that it functions quite well without an elevated return line. The rest require an elevated return line (front yard trip wire). I have tried a return line on a ewe connecting the ground rods, but didn't notice any difference in performance. The downside of these antennas is a fat cardoid pattern with poor side rejection. However, where space is a consideration, they are hard to beat, and are considerably more quiet and directional than a random wire.
