I got a Leapers 30mm tube, 6-24x56 illuminated mildot reticle with side-wheel Adjustable Objective.
It is mounted to my Marauder with Leapers Accushot medium rings which brings it to an ideal height for a good cheek weld.
The flip-up lens cover does not fit on the objective lens with the medium rings, but it is really not important compared to getting the right cheek height.
I got the 80mm large side wheel. I really like having the larger side wheel focus. AO focus on the objective lens is very awkward to use.
I also bought both at Pyramyd Air.

The only one of the 3 you have listed that has a side wheel adjustable AO is the UTG 3-12X44AO. The other 2 the 3rd turret is for the reticle illumination.

It really depends on what you are planning to use your Marauder for.
I would not want less than 24x magnification on mine.
I would have gotten more, but the reviews said the Leapers 8-32X scopes lose some of their clarity at higher magnifications.
The 30mm tube 6-24X56 is clear even at 24 magnification and I am happy with its performance in lower light levels.
It is $200, but worth it.

If you are just using it for off-hand hunting at ranges up to 50 yards, you may be content with 12x.
If you plan to do much target or plinking, more magnification is better as long as the image is clear.

The larger objective lens lets in more light and the larger 30mm tube helps too.

I second the Leapers Accushot SWAT 6-24 x 56 8-) . Once you've used a side wheel focus, you'll never go back. Cheers. Steve
