Im looking for a pair of open heel split fins that either come with spring straps or will use EZ spring straps, that cost $100-$150. I have been looking at several fins and would like to get some opinions on them, and not get the 20 questions routine or the "you should spend a lot more than you want to" comments. Thank you

You ask "which of these - if any - do you like" yet you don't have an "if any" option. Sort of a "none of the above" kind of choice.
PS - I know you don't want "20 questions" but how about ONE question:
Why do you want split fins?

I have Jets, Vipers & Raptors.I like all ,but when I'm hunting(lobster, fish,ect)on a trip where I'm doing 6 or 7 dives with a lot of distance sometimes against current I find I cramp less and they're easier on my legs. I looked at the Tusa & Oceanic all were to small/short to propel me,Atomics (what I really wanted) a little pricey and the Mares just right (price and power). But I'm 6'3" @215lb.s I have smaller stature friends that love their Oceanics.

just bear in mind that split fins aren't great in current...
Atomic Smoke on the Water - a little bit more than you indicate but used you might find them........Why Atomic Aquatics SplitFins deliver more propulsion with less air consumption

Scuba Pro twin jets and the only split fins that I've ever had on that I didn't hate and they do come with spring straps. I still have my first set of fins, Tusa x-pert zooms. With them, I feel like I'm riding a 10 speed bicycle in first gear. I would sell them cheap.
That said, I'll never buy another set of split fins.

Call various dive shops in your area & see what you can rent so you can try them out for yourself, to figure out which you like the best..
I have the Tusa Zoom Z3's but I couldnt tell you which are the best as far as comfort & propulsion between your 6 options..
