US-05, Nottingham, S-04, or Mangrove Jack's M03.

Anyone have any reasons why I should go with one over the others? Any firsthand experience? Any horror stories?

I'm leaning toward the S-04 or Notty. I have mixed reviews..some people tell me Scottish ales should be cleaner, more similar to American ales..others have had good experience with US-05, S-04, and Notty on separate occassions. I figured a little estery fruitiness wasn't necessarily bad for the style..

I'm particularly curious about the M03.
 
I am unfamiliar with the Mangrove Jack. I would use the S-04, fermenting in the low 60's to minimize ester formation.
