Seriously, you have to be far more descriptive or we have no idea what you're looking for.

Good airflow and temperatures ,otherwise all of them fit the hardware.

G500A all the way. Phanteks make good inexpensive Cases. Some nice QOL features as well like the front panel is like a USB header. Thermaltake are overpriced. Lian Li is good but those side panels on the front could restrict airflow.

I like the lian li the best out of those 4 but the Phanteks is awesome couldn't go wrong with either and unless you plan on sticking a 5090 and core ultra 265k in it it's not going to matter all will be more than enough for the majority of systems people build and likely would even be fine with the above mentioned hardware.

Thermaltake at least the cases I've worked with from them had poor build quality but it's been a little while so maybe they've gotten better.

The Montech looks solid also but the other two I've mentioned above will have better build quality and at least for me both phanteks and lian li support has been really good.

I've done three 903 builds and it's as solid as any other case. Only thing sturdier is my Nanoxia DeepSilence 6.

Yeah, I've heard good things about them recently the only one I worked with was like 3 years ago and was pretty cheaply made.
