I can only really comment on a few of those. The Paris Review and New Criterion are very US-centric and very much stick to literature and arts, much narrower in scope. Granta I remember from being a teenager and I don’t know if much has changed but it was very much focused on authors and stories whereas the LRB seems to exist closer to reality, in that it illuminates both contemporary issues and historical ones with great expertise and is doesn’t shy from being exceedingly political, encouraging debate. It’s like a deeper, more positive version of Private Eye in some of its work, and doesn’t assume that its readers are immersed in the specialised language of literature, art or drama, and is very refreshing in a world where the US dominates English-language writing. They also give a free print subscription to a friend of a subscriber - sadly I’ve just given mine rise you could have had it and potentially enjoyed it for a year. It’s also more frequent which allows it to move quickly, somewhere between a weekend newspaper supplement and a monthly periodical.
