These are the most powerful bindings of the 4 that you listed. To give you an idea, the mid-stiff cartridges are noticeably more active than G3s stiffest cartridge, the Worldcup. So for downhill performance, the O1s take the prize. Now I've never toured on any of the other bindings, but the touring mechanism on the BD O1s is fast, simple, and not prone to ice up. So if you want added downhill performance with a touring mode that can measure up in any comparison, get the O1s. Make sure to mount them with strong epoxy (see reviews).
