    G5 will last longer, run pretty much every app for a while to come yet and can be upgraded more easily than the others. However, the screens are extra.
    iMac is next I would say, but wait a bit as they may well be upgraded soon. The 20" screens are great.
    eMac is a bit old really, and the CRT screens aren't great.
