Default Redfield Revenge 3-9x42mm vs. Sightron SII 3-9x42mm vs. Mueller APV 4.5-14x40mm

Couldn't decide if I should post this under Optics or Rimfire, but this is a rimfire-specific question, so please feel free to move it to the proper folder should you deem it necessary, mods...

I’m afraid that it may be time for me to give up my beloved Weaver RV7 2.5-7x28mm. As much fun as it was in the short time I’ve had it on my 10/22, these tired old eyes just need something with a brighter image and a wider field of view. I also have astigmatism in both eyes and have to wear glasses, so focusing has been a little bit troublesome with the Weaver. And, I’d also like to graduate to shooting targets up to 100 yards or more, perhaps eventually trying my hand at benchrest, so I need a scope with more power.

I’ve been considering these 3 scopes in my $150 price range, and have listed the specs below. I’d love to hear some opinions from members of this forum as to which they think I should purchase. Thanks!
