Why?

(again, C-R-I-T-E-R-I-A)

If it's because you can't afford them all, then PRICE is your main criteria, and you should probably just buy the three cheapest ones you can get your hands on and see which one you like best.

"rate of fire" isn't a very useful criteria for a water gun. Maybe GallonsPerMinute, or reload time between shots, or maximum range?

"leakages" are rarely an issue with modern brand-name waterguns unless they're old and the seals or tanks are cracked.

"ergonomics" is pretty subjective and depends on the user. What's the distance between your outstretched thumb and pinky? How much weight can you curl/bench press? Some of these require considerable strength and stamina to use effectively for extended periods of time. Most of them I've come in contact with had no major issues being wielded with average 6'tall adult-sized hands. The Shotwave's ergonomics felt weird to me but it's hard to articulate exactly why; probably a weight-balance thing. (I wouldn't recommend that one unless you own multiple clips that fit it, and can take advantage of that feature)

Nobody really takes the time and effort to analyze waterguns in-depth because, well, Coop772 is passionate about dart blasters, not waterguns. There's clearly a void in the information marketplace here, so maybe you should snatch up a bunch of these and start shooting test and review videos yourself.
