They are all beautiful, all have wonderful qualities.
Could you write a little more about how you are stuck and what you would like?
Have you seen these charts? The second one lists flying ability.

I know people do have mixed flocks that include Khaki Campbells and Pekins, and here is something I would be concerned about, though much less concerned if you are getting all females - size difference.
Probably they will be fine, but a Pekin is much larger than a KC. So if they were getting cranky with each other (probably won't if they are raised together), the Pekin will have quite the size advantage.
Just something to think about. And if you were getting a drake, I would definitely go with a small breed.

Now, I realize you probably want to check in with gentila, who has a flock of mixed sizes, including, I think, all the breeds you are considering.
Thanks, gentila!
