This is a very UK forum so don't know the brands but FGSS are simple machines. The last one, the Vivos, looks the best to me.

I had to google the frame materials (high tensile steel vs chromoly) and the chromoly Vivos appears to be a much better choice. It also appears to have extra mount points, handy for a front rack or panniers.

It's worth noting that the Vivos has 48x16 gearing and the city grounds bikes, 46x16. Depending on where you ride, that's quite a big gear on the Vivos and I personal ride 46x16 fixed. It can be changed fairly easily and putting a 17t on the back would be cheap.
