Please, which of these Screwpull models is best?

Dan, you can replace just the screw. It’s still more than $12, but less than a new screwpull.

And, of course, no screwpull works well with corks that crumble or adhere to the neck of the bottle. Neither does my waiter’s friend. I have a primitive worm attached to a bar for that, which allows me to work the worm in at angles and lever it out. I should use an Ah-so but I’ve never gotten one and so never gotten the hang of it…

For the toughest corks, that primitive worm will allow you to engage the cork (or cork remnant) so it doesn’t get pushed into the bottle when you use the Ah-So (with the worm angled under it). My understanding is that the much-heralded Durand essentially puts these two pieces together to make it less of a challenge. If one is looking for less of a challenge.
