misc. dwarfing rootstocks - comparing to bud 9

I've been growing bud 9 (pomme) trees on trellises for about 7 years now and I have it pretty much down pat. I recently ordered a half dozen trees from Cummins' Nursery on a variety of other supposedly dwarfing rootstocks that I haven't tried before. I'm concerned about vigor and being able to keep the growth controlled on the same trellises that my bud 9 trees are on. I have my bud 9 trees spaced 5 feet apart. (I think there might be some pics on my home page, although they are old pics).

I'm excited to finally be getting some trees from Cummins', they seem to be a very professional nursery in all aspects.

I'd like to hear your experiences on the following rootstocks and if you think I can plant them on the same 6 foot tall trellises (3 wires) spaced 5 feet apart:
