Agreed.

They all make a good noise when you shoot them in a contained case.

They are all good powders for the right application.

They come in one pound and eight pound containers. They are flammable!
There is a Sticky at the top of this forum, of Official Online Datasources. The links there will be useful to you to answer your question, AFTER YOU READ A RELOADING MANUAL.
 
The only generalization I can make is that the VV powders now are all formulated with a copper fouling reducer, while I don't believe any of the others you mentioned are, assuming that matters to you.
 
Yes, and many of those are newer, and slower. I will add that we do not seem to be talking about 223 or 308, nor handgun powders.
 
Drive by for post count by new member: Delete Thread.

I looked up OP public profile. He has been inactive since 14 posts on his first day. I think he was trying to qualify as a senior member. I do not think this thread should count. Useless drive by, no real question here. Profile indicates he knows enough not to need a real answer to this question.
Delete thread????

"...They all make a good noise..." WHOOOSH. Just like any flame. Unique, I think it was, makes a 10 foot plus column of fire like a Saturn V rocket when burned off in a big ash tray. It had gotten wet and it was outside.
"...develop some loads for several rifles..." Do it one rifle at a time. Pick the bullet by weight and intended purpose, then the powder by the accuracy load given in your manual.
