FX 8350 Would receive my vote as it's their latest chip, and for its intended purpose, it does quite well at it's price point. This vote is not taking overclocking into account, however it is still my primary vote.

FX 8320 is another excellent choice if you take overclocking into account.

Of the 2 newegg choices I would have to take the 8150, but it wouldn't be by choice.
