I looked at all of them and rainbow-mode seems to be a superset of their
functionality (except for highlighting "blue" in blue, for instance).
It's definitely more configurable and smarter about the major mode. The
name may have to change so it's clearer what it does: visual-color.el,
perhaps?
I'd like to see it become part of Emacs; it would be useful to me and
probably many others.
