Why each option
Two of the listed SDN controllers are open-source community projects - OpenContrail and OpenDaylight - while the remaining options are proprietary commercial products.

OpenContrail (now Tungsten Fabric under the Linux Foundation) is an open-source network virtualization and SDN platform originally developed by Juniper Networks and released to the community under an Apache 2.0 license. It provides SDN control plane and network virtualization capabilities freely available to anyone.
Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) is Cisco's proprietary SDN controller used exclusively with its Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) platform.
Virtual Application Networks SDN controller is a proprietary HP product and is not distributed as open-source software.
