Find you a CBR600 F3/2 or hell even an F4. You can pick them up cheap and in good condition.
the vtec bikes are disliked also for jerking when the cam's change lobes. not a good occurance when one is leaned over

Being the only one of that list I've ridden, I'd say the VFR. VFR's seem to have a very, very loyal following of devout fans/riders, and I think it might be the most versatile bike of the ones you listed as well.
