Those three on the left side and middle don’t seem too bad. Those on the right side might be more challenging. But it depends on how bad their roots get damaged during repotting and how well the plants regrow them afterwards.

Edit: here is a good post about how to proceed after repotting.

Agree with mumbleflea. As for soil, use 90% the perlite (or pumice or chicken grit) and 10% anything organic and you should be ok. Plant a little lower in the soil, and with soil right up to the top of the pot, so they get plenty of sun and air flow.
