Biolite and 5" firebox are both way too heavy for backpacking at 1.5-2 and 2 lb.
The vargo stove is absolute trash. It's light and easy to put together but it doesn't get enough air flow so you have to keep the door wide open all the time or the fire goes out. This causes the flames to shoot out the side instead of onto your pot so it takes forever to boil water. It's also really hard to add sticks to a very tiny firebox from the side while it's shooting flames out at you from that side.
The core stove is ok. It's a pain in the ass to setup and the gasifier function doesn't work very well. The rocket port does not clip on well and makes it really hard to add fuel due to its odd size. On the other hand it does draw air pretty well and it's lightweight and cheap. I probably wouldn't get it again though.
The others I haven't tried yet.
