Mooney will be cheapest on fuel and are fast but cramped.
Beech is an entirely different machine. Sturdy platform.
TB20 is an interesting airplane.
c182 I personally do not like .. Flown it a few times. It is big but not wide enough for me and landing it is entirely different than landing a c172. and it is slower than all above.
You should look at the SR22 as well. A lot of plane and fast!
I looked at all of them and found I could only fit in the SR22 and the Commander114. I went for the last because it had better reviews than the SR22 .. especially when flying slow. I got it the day after I got my PPL. I had to fly 25 hrs under supervision for the insurance and used that to master hp and complex and the fact that everything simply happens a lot faster. I then went on for IR and now CPL.
Commander 114 is a fantastic plane, very comfortable , very stable platform and reasonably fast. 150ish kts.
