In my opinion you really need to look past "the brand name" and look at the OEM. Corsair AX1200 is made by Flextronics, who normally OEM for server grade units. Bottom line the AX1200 has a few reasons why i'd pick it above anything else you mention.
1. 90% power efficency at load, and over 80% without load.
2. 29mv ripple
3. The internals are built like a freaking beast, it has server quality power, with a line level filter.
4. Not made by Topower like antec, and seriously, it's got better components than the PCP&C, you're paying for a name nowadays.
5. 7 year effing warranty and corsair's really good customer support 4lyfe
6. 100% modular

The Enermax PSUs are also quite good.

Dude, you didn't vote

Good points, but from what I've heard previously the Turbo Cool had the cleanest power (?), but, I don't gave an oscilloscope so I can't test

I may have a kaleidoscope you can borrow. Not sure if it will be much help for your testing
