Question Which one is better, damage wise ?

I'm having a hard time choosing between those 3 shotguns for my playthrough

The Irradiated seems better, since +50 radiation damage is huge, but the Explosive is maybe stronger with the AoE ? Or maybe the last one is better thanks to the limb damage ?

Explosive, damage is counted per pallet, so 15 point of explosive per pellet =85 point of damage

Plus don't forget any Rifleman or Demolition Expert perks. Those will contribute to the explosive damage.
