I have 2 skeets and a falcon bucco. The bucco is the one I would buy now! The skeet are heaver than the falcon bucco. They are both good rods. Try one with you favorite reel on one of them!! 
One you build and fish with your own hand built custom rod you will fish with nothing else!

I really like my Carrot Stix. My buddy has a Skeet and I like the feeling of the carrot a lot better. I also have a lowrider...Its heavy and not near as sensitive as the Carrot. In that price range... I would go with carrot stix.

A Falcon Lowrider is an INCREDIBLE rod, and the BuCoo is just as great. I GAURUNTEE you'll love either one of them!

For nearly the price of a carrot stix you could get an Abu Garcia Vendetta or two. They are light and sensitive. I like them so much i have three so far.

out of the three that you listed i would get the Falcon, but I also think you should take a look at Castaway and Powell. the Powell rods are a little higher priced then the others you listed but I truly think you would be happier with it.

Temple Fork Outfitters and Gary Lommis designed these rods. They retail for $99 and are well worth the price, I have several and love them! TFO Rods And Crucial Tackle carries them... Crucial Tackle

I have a vendetta and a falcon Lowrider and a falcon HD and like the Vendetta best. I have the 6'6" medium and its great. It has done everything from horsing kings out the ocean to catching trout in colorado to catching bass here in a pond. I really like it.

Buy only one rod at a time,fish it and evaluate it for your style of fishing. Better to have fewer,but better quality rods. I'd rather have 1 $300 rod,than 3 $100 rods. You can only fish one rod at a time.
