Pretty much all of them would be good. I have loaded but not taken any game with the 103 ELDX or the Berger 105 (the 95 yes). For the ranges you described and where 90% of deer are shot the VLD bullets are unneeded although they kill fast due to fragmentation if put in the right spot. The Berger's especially can ruin a lot of meat as they sometimes 100% fragment and violently. The ELDX are soft too.
All the others are excellent general purpose deer bullets and should do fine. I like the 80 grain Barnes and I shoot a lot of the Hornaday IB bullets with great success both terminal performance and accuracy. I have not shot many of the Speers. The grand slam is a single core bullet and similar to a Core lokt which is not a bad thing.
The Gold dot is a softer electro-bonded bullet which again is a good thing. If really big hogs might be about I would go with the Barnes, if not then whichever shot best and was the cheapest would get the nod. The Nosler is never a bad choice especially for big corn and sorghum fed deer. It almost always shoots well if not with exactly target grade accuracy and is easy to get to shoot.
