I have #2 and find it useful not only for brakes but things like checking vac advance or checking for leaks (pull a vac and watch for leakdown).

I had #3 and it was junk.

I have one like #2 and it seems ok. I need to bleed my rear brakes to see for sure how well it works, but it seems easier than the old fashioned way.

Just go to Oreilly's and spend $22 on the one man bleeder screws.

I use one similar to #3 it works ok but probably not as fast as the others.

just get a MITY-VAC (harbor freight carries them for like 28-34$ but you can get them lots of other places also) and you will never have bleeding problems again. i put new wheel cylinders on the back and had perfect brakes in 15mins.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DONT EMPTY YOUR MASTER
CYLINDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
