Graf skates are made with more traditional materials and constructions. They'll feel comfortable, but will retain the most moisture and break down the fastest.
The Vector and Fuel are both modern constructions than tend to be lighter and maintain their structure longer. With that said, the CCM skate targets lightweight performance at the expense of any durability. There is a lot of single stitching and minimal use of any reinforcement materials.
So, of the models you've mentioned I'd have to recommend the Missions. I do however agree with a previous comment that boot lasts vary from company to company, so you'll have to try on whichever model you prefer before making a purchase.
For my money, the nike/bauer supreme 8000's have the best balance of stiffness, durability and lightweight features. You might want to try on a pair before making your final choice, particularly since the fit of that boot will be closest to what you are currently using.

Go to your local hockey shop and TRY ON different brands and models until you find something that fits your foot well. Most of the comparable models in each brand will be of equal, or close to equal quality. The key is to be fitted correctly and make sure you are comfortable. A skate that I love you may hate. Skates are probably the most personal piece of equipment - make your own educated decision. You can check out www.modsquadhockey.com for specific info on any skate you are interested in. Just use the search function before posting questions- they likely have already been answered.

anything from nike/bauer is good. I have used bauer all my life and always feel good in them and get good performance. The vapor XXX are nice and by far the best skate i have ever skated on. I would also like to try the one 90s and have herd only great things about them as well.
On my team i would say that we use about 85 nike/bauer skates.

I've used nothing but CCM's as long as I've skated. No complaints here.

You should keep the brand that you have right now, differnt brands make different boots. if you like the one you have, stay with it and get a bigger size
