My advice might seem a bit odd, but it does come from somebody who has worn kilts for 40 years.
I would go with a wool kilt in real kilting cloth, at least 5 yards. My favourite kilts have around 7 yards, not as unbalanced as an 8-yard kilt, and more comfortable in my opinion.
I prefer 16-18 ounce fabric over 13 ounce fabric.
About tartan, all the tartans you mentioned are recent inventions. Have you considered something traditional? Not that I have anything against new tartans.
In general you might as well go with what looks best to you, regardless of what name it has. Due to my mixed Irish/Cornish/Scottish ancestry there are dozens of tartans I might well wear, but I wear Isle Of Skye simply because I like how it looks.
Were I in your shoes, and given the choices you gave, I'd probably go with this County Kerry, because I really like the look of it.
