All of them are TLC with 5 yrs warranty.
980 is latest but its Samsung's budget line with no DRAM cache which can be a downer. It is 128 layer though and that can make up a bit.
The ADATA is old by now and uses only 64 layers inspite of rocking a DRAM cache.
The 970 Evo Plus on the other hand has 96 layers and also has DRAM cache. I would go for this one. The default Magician software is also pretty good.
"Solid State Drives with a DRAM chip boast better performance than DRAM-less SSDs. This is because DRAM is much faster than NAND Flash memory. Instead of your PC having to root around your SSD for the relevant data, your PC can go straight to the DRAM. As a result, your PC won’t have to wait very long for your SSD to retrieve the data it needs. This results in a much faster experience for the end user. "

DRAM or DRAM-less SSD? What's the Difference?
In a time when SSDs have virtually replaced all HDDs, this guide examines DRAM vs DRAM-less SSD and helps determine which you should buy.

Knowing only what you've said so far, I'd probably lean toward a 1 TB drive because you may never notice the advantages of the smaller capacity 970 Evo Plus.
You have to make a judgement about whether or not you will ever need more than 500 GB capacity.

I would still go with the 970 Evo among those in any capacity as it is the better drive...

I would go with the Kingston here as it is moderately priced inspite of having DRAM cache and 96 layers. Its similar to the Evo Plus.It is a good question

If you want 1tb then go with the 980.

I would opt for the 1tb samsung 980.
Mainly for the extra capacity.
Use the samsung ssd migration aid to move your C drive to the 1tb ssd.
Here is a link to the app and instructions:

A simple large C drive will be easier to manage than two devices.
When done, you can retire or repurpose your 250gb ssd. I would simply keep it aside as a backup for this point in time.
As to performance, there is minimal difference in performance among all ssd devices in the real world.
True, pcie connected devices bench higher sequentially, but we do very little of that.
