Of that list I'm reading East of West and the IDW Transformer series so they're the only ones I can give an opinion on.
East of West is awesome but I find it quite hard to follow as a monthly series. I find I often have to track back to previous issues to catch up on stuff I have forgotten for the current issue to make sense. It will probably read a whole lot better in collected editions when the series has finished.
Also, as good as it is I still like Manhattan Projects (also by Hickman) a lot more. Can't wait for that series to come back from hiatus.
The IDW Transformers series is something I can recommend too, starting with More than Meets the Eye #1 and Robots in Disguise #1. There's a whole lot of stuff that came before it but that's a bit of a mixed bag, and generally not all that important for following the current stuff.
Both are solid scifi series, but if you have to choose just one go for MtMtE
