C'mon OP...
I wouldn't get any of the ones you listed. They're far too small. For me the size of a cutting board is one of the most important aspects. This one for example, is as wide as the biggest one you picked out is long. (21x15)
I use this cutting board and it is fucking awesome.
14.5” x 21”! HUGE! One of my irreplaceable items in my kitchen. I will never downgrade from this size. I fucking love OXO products
They tested a wide range of boards costing from $20 to $200, in a wide variety of materials. ALL boards were 15" x 20" or larger. Each board was assigned to a test cook who used it daily for three months. After testing, only ONE board passed all tests and did not seem "as thirsty for oil" as others.

Proteak Edge Grain Teak Cutting Board - $84.99
> Roomy, knife-friendly, and exceptionally durable, this teak slab was worth every penny. It resisted warping and cracking, showed only minor scratches, never seemed “thirsty,” and—despite its heft—was easy to lift and clean, thanks to handholds on each end.
RUNNERS UP
> Our favorite bargain board sports rubber strips on both sides that keep its lightweight frame anchored to the counter—and make it reversible. It did suffer deep scratches and gouges but never split or warped, and it cleaned up stain-free in the dishwasher.
- $44.95
> A classic wood model, this reversible, edge-grain board’s slightly rough surface offered twofold control: It securely held the counter and gently gripped the knives. Though it absorbed stains and developed hairline cracks after a few months, it never warped.
I went through a thick wood cutting board like yours (not end grain but quite decent) but it was too unwieldy to wash and disinfect. I then tried the composite wood boards - forget the brand but i think they were Epicurean like /u/rswinkler also posted about. Only problem is, they slip around too much and are also not so gentle on the knives.
I've now settled on a big sized Oxo plastic chopping board. It is really quite a nice board. Gentle on the knives, yet hard enough that the knives don't make deep marks on the board. Easy enough to clean and disinfect, reasonably priced. And best of all, it has these sticky rubber borders that prevents the cutting board from sliding around on the counter top.

This one, from Oxo, is big and highest rated by America's Test Kitchen. I have one and it's great, and huge so it doubles as a carving board. http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Cutting-Carving-Board/dp/B000AAM0EY
I have a pretty sizable amount of counter space and use this cutting board.
That is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a cutting board. I have an OXO plastic board with most of my meat work and I use a wooden one that I picked up at a Bed Bath and Beyond when I had a coupon. Both boards in total were about $35 or so.

Edit: Forgot half of my statement and just hit post. The reason I am recommending a cheaper board is because the Victorinox knives are going be almost exactly half of the cost of this board.
ah ok so something like this for maple (edge grain) - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00063QBFE/ref=psdc_289863_t1_B0000CFV4K
so you wouldn't recommend this for both raw meat + veggies? https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-15-Inch---21-Inch-Cutting/dp/B000AAM0EY
At home I use the Oxo Good Grips Cutting Board. $25 for a huge surface, silicone grips so it won't slip, and I've never had it warp in hot water.
