I am looking one of these 5.1 surround sound systems:

1. Logitech Z506 ($118)

2. a) F&D F6000u ($132)
b) F&D F5060x ($134)

3. a) Microlab FC 730 (~$160)
b) Microlab FC 861 (~$160)
c) Microlab FC 360 (~$160)

I have converted the price from my currency to USD $

I will use them for all purpose: Movies, music and bit of gaming.
Sound Card: Built-in Realtek ALC 1150

The listed models are the ones available near my budget.
Need your expertise to help me decide.

Just looking at them I would guess that the Microlab FC730 will sound the best overall and especially for music. MDF wood cabinets indicates emphasis on the sound rather than the looks. Costs more than plastic cabinets too.
