No single pick here
Nothing here belongs in your stack until the one to five thousand stretch, so the honest pick at first is no tool at all: fifty hand-written messages a week, which is where you learn which first line works.
Which should I choose?
Once hand-written outreach has produced replies and you know which opening line lands, tools here are worth it for finding addresses and running sequences. Judge them on data accuracy rather than features, since a sequencer that emails the wrong people faster is a worse outcome than no sequencer.
The common mistake Automating before it works manually. This is the single most common expensive mistake in the whole directory: the tool faithfully scales a message that does not land, and burns the list you would have wanted later.
