the first two are the same except the fans and aesthetics - both made by asetek

the X72 is sourced to other company but essentially same joke as all others.
CM is cheap alternative.
the only real difference between those coolers that affects performance beside the size is the fans they shipped with.
they will do about the same job with identical fans.

Oooh ... and much cheaper and infinitely more reliable high end coolers will do the same job.

Don't get me wrong, I love liquid cooling, it's just AiOs are simply wannabes with almost no benefit of the the real liquid cooling.
At the price of the X72, you'd be better looking at EK's kits

Ok so i should not pick the nzxt liquid coolers right? I think corsair h115i is better than CM, doesn't it?
Secondly if i purchase corsair cooler and install 2 noctua fans a-14 3000rpm (with corsair fans) as push-pull will reduce temperatures right?

if i had to choose from your list, i'd go with the Corsair H115i.
But again, at this price point, i'd be looking at:
https://www.swiftech.com/h240x2.aspx
https://www.swiftech.com/h240x2prestige.aspx
https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a240

and replacing fans on already expensive AiO is not the best idea as it brings the cost to unacceptable levels IMHO.
Also 3000RPM is probably not the best idea. even 2000RPM is uncomfortably loud. preferably your fans should spin under 1500RPM if you are in the same room with the computer.
