Socata TB20/21 vs. Mooney 201J/252 vs. Beechcraft Bonanza V35

I am looking to buy a high performance used aircraft after completing my private pilot license and complex/high performance ratings to use for instrument and commercial training. The three models are in consideration:

Beechcraft Bonanza V35 (V-tail)
Socata TB20/21
Mooney 201J/252

Which is the best overall plane which has the highest fun factor and lowest cost for maintenance and insurance as well as best reliability. Mission profile is 2-3 passengers including me and the ability to fly high, fast and far on fuel economy.
