If you go Benchmark, I would not say that people do not like the “O”. A great many people found it to be their favourite of the 3!
The YYO lineup looks great. I’m going to try a few this coming weekend and will probably pick one up.
In the meantime, the Minute is one of my favourite inexpensive throws of all time. And yes, it’s very different from the Shutter.
Just curious, what do you mean when you say the CZM8 is bland? Everyone seems to say that but can’t imagine/connect with what they’re saying 
Well it just seems like it has nothing that stands out, it’s just not very interesting, like the Strix is fast, too hot is floaty, and the cafe racer is zippy, it’s just the czm8 isn’t really special in terms of performance and feel.
The One Drop Benchmarks are the best for the price. I’ve heard good things about it
