The first two are just Alix boards in 1U chassis. They work fine as long as you don't need any features that are CPU- or memory-intensive.
The last one is considerably more powerful but I don't know how well it works. Searches for the board in that system (X7SPE-HF) result in three hits from people with crashing systems when running 2.0 snapshots so YMMV.

I run Askozia on the X7SPE-H (lacks IPMI compared to the -HF model) with no problems. I run pfsense 2.0-RC1 on a X7SPA-H and other than some em driver issues which are being worked on by the devs, it runs fine.
I haven't been able to look at these two boards side by side, but I have yet to see a single difference between them. The X7SPA-H/F are popular boards, so I think anything you read about them in these forums can probably be applied to the X7XPE-HF.
