Mitsu Lancer and Mitsubishis in general have horrible resale value, so best to scratch that off the list. Same goes for Hyundai, especially the Genesis coupe since the twins came out.
"VW's are expensive to maintain" said everyone I've known who's ever owned one. Also, see my avatar about how I feel about front-wheel-drive.
All of these cars have been compared to the FR-S and BRZ in the past and the FR-S/BRZ have always come out victorious. Need we say more?
So I'm a little biased. I would say get the BRZ, or the WRX if you value the extra space and power over handling finesse and fuel economy.

Last time I checked the genesis was faster 'round the track
If money was no object IMO the WRX is probably your best bet for a general purpose car, and weather conditions will never really be a concern.
The lancers just don't get the job done vs. the subie for the price.
The genesis makes a nice daily but the back seats are a definite issue and the openings make carrying larger things difficult (lots of space, but useless if you can't get the item into the car)
I haven't driven a BRZ/FRS yet, so I can't attest to daily driving, but they are a very small car, so keep that in mind.
As for the FWD, I can't support a platform that powers the wrong wheels..
