How to choose between them

Check the drawdown type. End-of-day drawdown gives you far more room than intraday trailing. See how they differ.
Look for a funded consistency rule. It can hold up payouts after one big day. Consistency rules compared.
Count the monthly fees. A cheap monthly evaluation costs more for every month it takes you to pass.
Check for a discount code. Most firms run deals often. See current codes.
