Of those choices, I would get the i3-7100. It is the only one that supports HEVC 10-bit. The only other decent choices are the 6500 and 6400 PCs. The other two don't have a capable enough iGPU for transcoding.

Jellyfin 10.10.3 (Docker)
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Intel i3 12100
Intel Arc A380
OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
Storage
3x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1 (JF Library)
