Buy used
For you and the college age daughter your picks seem good to me its all about preference. Make sure you get the type of boot you like and are comfortable in, high top, low top, etc. You can always upgrade later. Also for the younger ones which will outgrow quicker find the style they like and then watch ebay, garage sales, etc and pick them up used. No sense in buying brand new skates every year. Plus when they outgrow them you can sell the old ones or hand them down.
Just my opinion and I am sure you will get others.
