You actually list the fact that Spotify has a client as a negative? The less crap I can have streaming from my browser and hogging memory, the better. I would dismiss the other two BECAUSE they're browser-based, just like I've dismissed We7. As for your apples vs oranges comparison of "quality". Spotify doesn't actually offer mp3 downloads at ANY rate. The streaming quality is 320kps for premium and a wholly acceptable 160kps for non-paying punters. The mp3s you can buy are powered by 7Digital. I will agree that Spotify's catalogue is it's biggest issue at the moment though. Deeply flawed.
