I am getting betta(s) meaning I don't know how many I'm getting. I know all the things on why you can't put them in a tank together unless they are properly introduced. I just need to know, if I only get one betta, which I probably will, which one should I get?
PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS!

The Mini Bow Aquarium Kits (the third link you posted) is probably the best on. It is biggest and has a filter.
You can NEVER house bettas together, even if they are introduced. Bettas are very territorial fish and will fight with other bettas (they're called Siamese Fighting Fish for a reason). The except is females - you can keep females together (but not males and females) but you need to have enough room.
Anyway, it doesnt' really matter which tank you choose; you just need it to be big enough (2 gallons would be the bare minimum for one betta - 5 is better - if you go over 6 gallons, you could get 2 females), and you need filtration (so you can keep the toxic ammonia levels down - and you will also need to do weekly water changes of 20% to keep the water clean), and you need heat (bettas are from Thailand, where the water is a warm 80F).
Anyhoo, I suggest the last one, because it has a real filter :)

Zoe's answer is the best, I would just like to mention that unless the female bettas were raised together, they can also be very aggressive with one another.

The first one is very cute, it looks bright and fun to live in....if I were a Betta I would be blowing bubbles for you although I am a female and female Betta don't normally blow bubbles. but girl I would be blowing them to show my appreciation.
