Bearing in mind that these are all US brands that I am not familiar with, I'd say the Cuisinart one, because it's the only brand I've heard of and it's a brand that I've heard of as "kick ten types of shite out of it and it's still brilliant" on various products.
Otherwise, if you can't be sure it'll survive, buy the cheapest one you can and wait until you're living alone before you buy the good stuff (I still remember what a Grown-Up I felt when I first bought my Le Creuset stuff. G, in comparison, knows that Le Creuset is bloddy good and offered to buy me more pans for Christmas, not having realised that I'd bought the Anolon pans to remedy the deficiencies of the Le Creusets!
Right now, unless you can protect any pan you buy, buy cheap. Unless buying good does wonders for your mental health. In which case, only spend as much as you can genuinely afford.
On the plus side, the pans are comparatively cheap. And I went to university with the most bizarre chunk of inherited kitchenware from my older sisters. Some of it is still in use (and I graduated in 1994), while other bits only got retired a couple of years ago.
