I'm not entirely familiar with all of those, but the prices seem
high, even in your monetary units.

Fit is the absolute most important part, and you'll have a hard time
fitting a used bike.

Also, even if it's fit right, I'd strongly recommend against the
triathlon bike for your first road bike; it's set up all wrong for
general road biking.

I use the GT ZR 2.0. It's the only road bike that I have owned so don't
have much to compare it to. I paid 1000. for it used from a guy who bought
it on ebay... So far it has been holding up great.
