The Via 35 is one of the tallest infant seats (not sure how it compares to the snugride click connect).
Here is a thread comparing it height-wise to the keyfit: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=211332
In this thread you can see the height difference between the via and snugride35: http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=1920849&postcount=41
It is a pretty heavy seat, but the handle makes it much less awkward to carry than a lot of other infant seats (it has a spot that is wider on each side of the handle making it comfortable to rest on your forearm). I carried my son around in it until he was 24lbs and then I bought a Radian. At that point he still had another inch or two of growing room, but I was tired of carrying my heavy baby around in it and prefer a convertible for getting them in and out in the car if the seat stays behind. It also has a no-rethread harness which is nice. I absolutely loved my via and would get another one in a heart beat if I were to have another baby.
I haven't personally played with any of the other seats on your list (although my nephew rode around in an older Peg and my sister loved it) but thought I would throw the via out there since it seems to fit your criteria too.

I haven't thought of the Via yet. I will look that up! As for the SR's I have never been a big fan of Graco infant seats, not really a specific reason I have just never liked the over-all fit/feel of them. Maybe it's just me lol
