Martin -
I have found that the original Lucas rotors to be quite good and long
lasting, however they tend to wear a bit where they fit on the shaft,
getting a bit wobbly over time... but it works without fail. These are good
rotors if you can find them.
#2 on your list is my favorite rotor and a brown version of this was sold by
Bosch for many many years. This is a good rotor and will probably never
fail you.
#3 and #4 are both pieces of crap and should be tossed in the garbage.
Maybe you can keep them as spares in your tool box, but I wouldn't even want
to keep them as spares, because they can fail within minutes of
installation. Yes #3 is the one with the bad rivet.
