None of those are bad hoods. You should go with a 54" if you can for better coverage area and capture space. It will work much more efficiently but all of those are solid products. The Broan is a little on the cheaply made side, with more jagged edges and flimsier controls/lights. It will vent just fine, but that would be the only one I would leave out.

If you can, get a 27" deep as well. If you max out your capture space you should be good to go.

Thanks, Joe! I see that "best" makes a 54" Range Hood in the style we prefer - Centro. I think we'll heed your advice and go with a 54" considering the powerful BlueStar range we will have below.

The Elica hoods are very nice and were moderately priced when I looked at them. The Vent-a-hood looked pretty good to me as well.

You definitely want an extra 6 inches with a power range/stove like that.
