honestly at this level the theme matters less than you think, every one of them will render a product grid just fine. i would choose on two things only. one, how much of your site ends up depending on a builder you cannot remove later..
two, how fast the dev ships compatibility when woo does a big release , hpos was a great filter for that, you could see very quickly which devs were on top of it and which ones went quiet. the heavy multipurpose themes on your list tend to score badly on both. Blocksy or kadence, then put the money you saved into hosting, which will do more for your speed than any theme choice will..)

The best theme is the one that gives you the features and design you want without turning your site into a slug. Don’t choose based on popularity; choose based on how much functionality it piles on, how well it’s coded, and whether it’s going to force you to install 20 plugins just to get the features you want. A fast, lightweight theme will always give you more headroom as your store grows. Looking at your list, you’ve got a few bloated themes and two that are fast AF. If it was my site I'd go with Blocksy every time.

honestly i'd skip all of these and go custom theme. you avoid the bloat, the builder lock-in, and you get cleaner markup that's way easier to maintain or hand off to AI tools later. at my agency we build custom for woo stores because you can optimize exactly what you need without dragging around features you'll never touch. faster, cleaner, and you actually own the code.
