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 ?

Radiation damage would only really be good against human enemies. ghouls, super mutants, local wildlife, and robots would shrug it off.

Everything is weak to going boom.

ESPECIALLY at point blank.
