As per @Munkuls suggestion, i would also happily use any of those three machines.If you get it just right, you can more or less push the rod into the joint with steady pressure. The arc burns up inside the flux and everything runs nice.
That first one looks good. But only cut and etch will tell you if you've got full penetration.
These are the inverters I have first hand experience of, I've tried lots of welders but these 3 are to me, are at the top end of small stick welding. They all behave like a much bigger machine. They make stick welding sooo easy.

Of these three, I'd take the Fronius or Lorch.
Of those two, I'd buy the Lorch, all day every day.
I would probably pick the lorch, given that i have had the micorstick for 6 years and it's been fantastic.
