Interesting group of vintage Selmers! Not having played any of your clarinets, but having played all three types mentioned, if only one clarinet could get an overhaul right now, I would go with the BT. The 55s were notoriously stuffy, and I found that reputation to be true. The RI carries a romantic fascination with many, and they are okay players, but - sorry, you do need the real barrel. The BTs are free blowers, with great intonation. Out of the three, the BT will have the more open sound, and probably be the most fun!
You asked, there you go!
