Having used an 80-cell braille display, I would definitely recommend it.

So far as I know, the Alva displays are no longer manufactured. They 
have a very good reputation for quality, but spare parts and service may 
not be available anymore. You probably can't buy them new either, unless 
a distributor happens to have one that has been on the shelf for years.

The other displays on your list are current.

They should be supported by BRLTTY and therefore by Orca.
