I have taken most of those. Just picking from the ones you mentioned these are the ones I'd go with in no particular order:

For Intermediate Fmq instruction:

Design it Quilt it with Cindy Needham, Ultimate free motion with Patsy Thompson or Amy Johnson's quilting with rulers.

Cindy's class focuses on how to design your Fmq so that it works with your quilt. Her tips for planning a design and pulling elements from different sources are very good.

Patsy's courses focus on adding extra wow factor by incorporating what she calls "hyperquilting"
Which includes adding in extra details with contrasting thread colors in your Fmq designs and doing things like selectively quilting some areas more densely than others to achieve textural and dimensional differences. In one of her courses she does some work with trapunto effect--I can't remember which one but either course is quite good.

Amy Johnson is also a fantastic teacher and quilting with rulers on a home machine is her introduction to using rulers. If you have not done ruler work then this would be a great introduction.

I use techniques that I learned from all three of these instructors in my quilts.
