    If I had to choose, I'd say the Dahon would be best.

    http://foldsoc.co.uk has reviews of folders. Dahon generally do well. Brompton still regarded as the best on balance. Should be getting one myself this month, Deo volente.

    Dahon (your middle link) are a very well regarded manufacturer when it comes to folders. I almost bought one once, from a test ride it seemed solid. They have stuff cheaper than Brompton, and at the higher end stuff that would be faster. Brompton really only make one sort of bike while Dahon have a very comprehensive range. They don't fold quite as small, that is really the only downside. I have never heard of the other two.

    That Dahon won't hold up well to constant use though - I have a similar one and the headset started giving trouble after about 3 months. Because Dahon's use a lot of proprietary parts, the only option to get it fixed was to return it to a Dahon dealer of which there are none in Ireland (I believe).

    Also, I wouldn't buy a Dahon off the web, if you do the warranty is invalid.
