I would go to your local boardshop and see if they will let you demo each one and see what you like better. Me personally I like wood boards but not everyone is the same way. Best way to figure out how much you like a board is to try it.

i dont have a local boardshop that has these so demo'in them is kinda out of the question.

do you know someone who has any of those boards that would let you try them, or if you meet someone see if your friend can ride one.

well i can tell you i started out riding an impulse as my first board, it was an 07 then i had an 08 a little bit before i got my integrity. i loved my impulse, it was a great board to me. pretty much any board he gets for his first he will learn on and love no matter what. so any of those 3 will work, i personally would say go with the impulse if you cant try any others, but thats just my opinion.
