I owned a High Speed and couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. Left orbit to ramp alllllllll day - I got sick of it real quick, and super sick of it on days when I couldn’t hit the ramp consistently.
At least around me I would agree with @crazylevi. You could probably get into a players version of any of those games within 200 bucks of each other. I prefer F14 to Firepower personally. This might get some flack, but I actually prefer Flash to Firepower for “budget” early SS Ritchie titles. Aside from looks and sounds where Firepower is probably objectively better, I don’t care much for the game, like Levi said, the shots just don’t feel great to me and the spot targets are a death trap shot that kills the fun for me. Flash has 8 drops, a killer spinner rip, the side saucer, and a bonus multiplier that takes some classic Bally style nudging to get to...might be worth a look for you, and they usually come cheap.
Of what you listed, F14 gets the nod from me!
