I say avoid the purple and yellow and any others with that body shape. IME they become mean. I really like the Naso or Achilles tangs. What about a Gold Rim tang? Aquatica had a gorgeous one the other day!

We have a yellow tang, a naso tang and a skopas tang together, and the three of them are great buddies.  Lot's of fun to watch.  Although it is fairly bland colorwise, dark brown back end lightening to an off-white front (almost like a backwards siamese cat) the skopas is my favorite.

My wife picked a Powder Brown Tang that has the most incredible colors I have seen on a tang.  I know they say it is a Ich magnet, but he is doing great in the tank.  He gets along with all of the other fish and inverts.  I was worried about him eating the clown eggs, but he swims past them like they werent there.  He even keeps it clear of almost all the algae.  This is a must see tang.

The only one I would be concerned with is the Achilles as far as tank size and how many tangs you will have total in that 150g
 
The others you chose I wouldn't hesitate to put together
