If those are your choices, I’d go with the Lello, although the Breville’s not bad either. I’d avoid the first two.
One thing to remember is that espresso needs a very fine grind (regular grinders won’t work well enough) and pre-ground coffee will be too stale for good flavor. Keep your budget open for a good grinder.
If you don’t want to spend more money, look at the Bialetti http://www.espressozone.com/8964.html It will make very good espresso from a more conventional grind. It will even make crema (although not as much as a powerful machine, but as much or more than your choices).
