I'm not qualified to comment on the first and last which you mention, but I have lots of Accurail cars and consider them to be good value for the money. Since I model the '30s, the cars in which I'm interested are mainly the wood-construction ones, along with the older style steel hoppers and gondolas.
I have seen comments that some modellers aren't too crazy about the one-piece plastic wheelsets, although I've had no problems with them. Most of the kits are what I would consider to be "shake-the-box" type, allowing the modeller to build them easily or add additional detail as they see fit. They also offer undecorated versions of their kits, a real boon to free-lancers.
