Currently from what I have seen E3's and SSDs are the standard for most game servers..
I assume you plan on hosting several of each game type? I know for certain that Minecraft servers (especially modded ones) use up a lot of RAM, and depending on how heavily modded it is - a lot of storage space. More so than CPU really. As for source games it depends on what you decide to run, though I've not seen one take up a ton of resources like Minecraft does.
I'm not entirely sure which would be the best choice for you because I don't know your projected server count of either type, but I would probably go with one of the first two you listed. I only say that because the third seems to have more limitations as to what you can do in regards to what games you can host from the box and whatnot. I see Counter Strike and Team Fortress listed but not games such as Left 4 Dead, Garry's Mod, Alien Swarm, etc. Not sure if that's a finite list but the wording makes it seem like it. Plus that leaves your options open if you ever want to try hosting for a new game or something of the sorts, which is a great option considering how quickly some server based games blow up such as ARK did.

I'd go OVH all the way.
