I can't comment on all of the receivers listed as I have only owned the B&K AVR-202 from your list. However, I have also owned Denon AVR-3300 and Sony SRT-DB930 for HT receivers.
Of those, the B&K was noticably better sounding for music and HT. The B&K looks awesome too and had great build quality. I did not like the user interface (ergonomics) of the B&K, but some people think it is great.
Concerning the lack of component video switching-do you really want to buy 2 expensive component video cables when you can go directly from your DVD player to you TV and use macros on your remote to control all of the needed switching? You can save money and possibly improve video quality by NOT having your receiver switch your component video.
Enjoy,
