The one on your list used most frequently by CPers
is Benomyl. It may be that the others would work just as well,
but may not be available to the general public. Benomyl
can be used at regular strength as it doesn't appear to have
any adverse effects. You should already know that all of
these are fairly toxic to the human body, so just use
proper precautions when applying to your plants or storing.
