You described the differences of these companies. But not how that would lead you to invest in one and not in another.
The way I see it, they all build out a different part of the technological landscape. And they all do it in a similar fashion. Since I expect the whole landscape to continue growing, I don't see one being a better investment then the other.

If you are just looking to make money, you would look for value: not the company that will do the best in the future, but the company whose performance in the future is undervalued by other investors (so is not already reflected in its stock price). Most of us don't really have enough extra information (beyond what the market already "knows", and avoiding going to jail for using inside information) to do that very effectively, so you could buy some kind of index fund (perhaps specialized in tech or even bigcorp tech). Or you could invest in the company whose vision of the future you are most excited about, or something idealistic like that. But that wouldn't really give you influence in the company, nor would it necessarily provide the company with extra capital (since you are most likely just buying from other investors...well, bidding up the stock will still indirectly benefit them).
