from these, which should i buy? note, i want a good distortion, like one that i can sound like in Canon Rock, basically an amp that isnt too frustrating to practice with and can endure long life, also, i want to learn songs like canon, through the fire and flames(maybe in five years), songs from Muse, game, etc.

If you want a no nonsense amp that will play a lot of styles consider this Marshall: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Marshall-MG15CDR-15-Watt-Combo-Amp-with-Reverb?sku=482800
Out of the options you gave I would go with the Behringer if you don't mind that you will have to replace the jacks a few years down the road, or the Fender if you don't want to do any maintenance on it for a good long time. The Marshall I gave a link to is better (in my opinion) than the 3 amps you posted though.
The other day I played my Strat through a little solid-state Marshall MG15DFX. I was amazed at the direct response and clear tone. (link below). I like this amp.

i have 2 MG, a MG15CDR and a MG15DFX. i love the clean channel and i love the distortion (the only thing i hate is not being able to use a footswitch. but they sound great.
