It's even more complicated than you realise because several models (I'm thinking the 172 especially) come in lots of different flavours!
I've flown 140bhp 172's, 160bhp 172's, a 172 RG with a 180 bhp engine & retractable gear and a Reims Rocket which has a 210bhp engine and a c/s prop. The 172 does exactly what it was designed to do. It's an easy to fly four place trainer although most (with the exception of the rocket) are limited on endurance with four adults on board.
You missed out the 182 from your list. The 182 is essentially a 172 on steroids with a 230bhp motor. It's a much more useful touring aeroplane which will carry four adults, a reasonable amount of fuel and unlike it's big brother the
206 has a fuel burn which won't scare your bank manager.
The 185 is a 300bhp tail dragger. It can be a handful on take off and landing (despite the tailwheel lock) but will get in and out of almost anywhere. They are very popular for bush flying.
The 206 is my favourite of the Cessna singles. It has a 300bhp Continental engine and will lift almost anything. The only problem is the fuel burn. It's about 60 litres an hour and with rising avgas prices - you'd need deep pockets if you flew it regularly. Before a I got a grown up flying job, I spent a lot of happy hours dropping skydivers out of Cessna 206's - but I didn't have to pick up the fuel bill!
I've not flown any of the others on your list, but I've no doubt that some other folk on here will have done and can provide further information.
If I was lucky enough to be in a position to be able to afford to buy a Cessna - I'd probably go for a 182.
