Most of the kites you list are not Freestyle kites and not what I would consider to use for freestyle. The Vapor, Yak, Prodigy are all high aspect
ratio race kites. Those would be comparable to the Flexifoil blurr if you are comparing. Not what I would consider freestyle.
I would probably move towards the PL Core or Reactor, the Ozone Method, Flexi Blade or the HQ Toxic as more suitable for Freestyle.
Just my opinion.

peter lynn twister, flexi blades, Crossfire II if you can fly it.
the twister and blade are both great if you want to do aerial freestyle. both are great for jumping
PL Core or Reactor, Ozone Method, and HQ Toxic if you want flatland freestyle. all of these are buggy based kites
Elliot Kites sigma 360 --- Rev Blast 2-4 --- HQ Scout 5.0 --- HQ Crossfire II 10.0 --- HQ hydra 350
2010 Liquid Force Havoc 10m -- Slingshot ranger 12m -- Peter Lynn Scorpion 16m -- EH Cabarete Freestyle
MBS Elements mountainboard
MBS atom cruiser (stake trucks and wheels)
Peter Lynn XR+ kite buggy (std wheels and wide treads)

I agree with the others,... the kites you've named are typically considered race kites, so all of the above named seem good to me.
My 2 cents otherwise:...
I'm a big fan of the PL Core. I traded Cheezy my 5m Twister for his same size Core, then bought another (diff't size) because I liked it so much. They
have been discontinued, but some people might still have one, so if you can find one, snatch it up!
I hear twister's don't go upwind so well, but they are definitely lifting kites, and they are uber fast.
And of course the PL Viper S is just a great buggy kite too. Not sure how they do with freestyle riding, but they are super stable.
I'm going to take a nap now
