    Skip the Intel Wifi Link 1000 Wireless 802.11n- it's a low end card.
    Intel 6250 is just a 6200 with Wi-Max. If you're not going to use Wi-Max there's no point paying for it.

    So assuming you don't need Wi-Max you're left with Intel 5300 and Intel 6200.
    Intel 5300 is a three stream card capable of 450mbps (assuming you have three antennas and a three stream router) and Intel 6200 is more recent than 5300 but only a two stream card (300mbps).

    Either is fine- assuming you have a two stream router and don't plan on upgrading there will be no difference between the two although with 6200 being more recent- it may end up being supported for longer.
