The "Ambulator Boat Shoe" looks like what it is, a boat shoe style walker with thick sole. It is not dressy, could be good with khakis or jeans, but you'll never look like an old salt with these on.
The PW Minor Carnegie Oxford's are, to me, the best looking of the bunch. They are a basic casual shoe: the sole isn't so thick it screams "orthopaedic," the leather has a quality, casual air, the style is solid and rugged looking without being clunky.
Scotrace is right, none of the shoes you suggest are elegant enough to look stylish with a suit. You should be able to pull off a "casual Friday" look with khakis and a tweed jacket, however. As far as the suit is concerned, I'd go with Geesie's recommendation. Otherwise, the overriding question is: does comfort trump style? Only you can answer that.
