Seeing your avatar always throws me off, since that's one of mine.
 What are you putting the scope on? 2-3x is sufficient for most airsofting functions, anything beyond 4x is typically used for spotting only. If your gun doesn't have too much reach, getting something with magnification might not be necessary. The Barska looks like a good choice out of the three, because it has good eye relief (important when wearing pb goggles) and you can dial it all the way down to 1.5x power. At the same time, it's got a good size diameter at 42mm.

You're pretty close to the Bass Pro Shop. I'd head up there and have a look. Their Redhead series of optics is reasonably priced, and come in gloss or matte black or silver, plus the rings to match. Depending on your gun I'd probably stick with a red dot, since scopes can be a little over the top for an aeg... Also, if you're running and gunning, trying to aim through a scope can be a hinderance. But I have to agree with saint, the Barska looks mint, has reasonable zoom, and eye relief. And if you don't like it you could always sell it to me.

Don't forget to replace the hopup bucking in your CA. Guarder clear is pretty good.
