Well, the first two essentially are Firefox and the latter is very immature to the point that I doubt you could reliably use it. It's in beta.

Yes, "essentially firefox but without mozilla corporation or data harvesting / ad partners" is exactly what you'd want to use instead of firefox. Waterfox in particular is so "essentially" firefox that it is firefox. Copy over your profile folder. Click the blue icon instead of the orange one. Congratulations, you are migrated and never have to worry about sponsors or ai in your browser again. Waterfox doesn't even have telemetry to opt out of.
