Pretty sure the Novak is a 14mm rotor...more torque, less RPM.
LRP is a 13mm. Less torque, more RPM.
Tekin is 12.5mm. Even less torque, even more RPMs.

I think the Novak will be the most forgiving, and let you gear it higher for more speed, but the LRP and the Tekin will be smoother. Depends on your driving style and how much you like swapping out pinions.
