Are you asking which one of the three is better? Or if any of them are any good? I would think they are all the same product in different colours and with different attachments, but I could be wrong. I was looking at them recently as well and found basically the same thing for much less - Amazon prices vary a lot - e.g. https://www.amazon.com/FEITA-Magnetic-Soldering-Magnifying-Flexible/dp/B09Y8N8F4T/ref=sr_1_19?crid=YL5CHGD8STS7&keywords=soldering+helping+hands&qid=1692832037&sprefix=soldering+helping+hands%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-19.

These things are pretty handy -

Even these are really practical for quick and simple without flexible arms going everywhere -

They are all practical and helpful in their own regard, sometimes just the simplicity and ease of use like the "Third Hand PCB Holder Tool with 2 Clips and Heavy Base" are all it takes, and if you want some extra protection on those alligator clips, just put some heat shrink over them.

You might find some better prices direct out of China through Aliexpress -
