For me, it comes down to the reticle I like the most.

With the given criteria of use and preference and the lack of any and all details or notes of interest my answer comes down to:
"who gives a shit, pick one and go."

I just switched to the Riton Mod7 4-32x56, great scope for the $

Bushnell dmr II can be had used here for $900 or less. I just went from that to the Vudu 5-25 and am happy with the upgrade and you can get a vudu on here for $1300 or less.

If you plan to shoot past 1,000 yards, why limit yourself to under 20x? You can always dial back.

Those are all good scopes. I'd try them all out, and see which you like best.

I routinely shoot to 1500 with 3-15x scopes. With hunting in the mix, I would opt for the better low end of 3x than worrying about 20x+ on the top.
Since you said "hunting to 600, and shooting out to 1000+", I am going to assume you don't mean BR or F Class. Steel probably. Not tiny little groups at 1000. Which would require more scope than you listed.

I think 15-18 is plenty on the high end as well. I am not a magnification whore either. I would ‘t feel underscoped with a good clear 15x top end.

The NF NXS isn't FFP so you might as well throw that one out already. I'd avoid the Gen 2 Razor simply because of weight on a hunting rig as well. If you're not walking far though that may not matter to you.

Holy hell, great deal. The 3-15 M5 has a great FOV, I’ve popped moving coyotes while calling at like 20m with mine. If you buy a T5 over that, you’re an idiot.
