I wouldn't wear anything on your list, but I would pick Curve (if I were forced at gunpoint).

Honestly, the only thing in that price range I would wear is Cool Water, which I highly recommend.

Don't buy any of those. Save your money and buy something awesome from Dior, Chanel, or something similar.

Try Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta. Yes, it's not cheap, but yes, it's also well made and can be worn in many settings. FWIW, I can almost guarantee your friends will not be wearing this. Stand out!

Other... I recommend looking into either Bellagio for Men ($15 for a 100ml bottle) or Bergamotto Marino by Ferré ($35 or so a bottle).

Honestly, from your list... none.

As others mentioned - save your money. Then I would suggest Dior Homme Sport or Chanel Allure Homme Sport or Edition Blanche.

Bergamatto Marino is a hec of a scent. And the price won't kill your wallet.

From those on your list, another vote for Animale Animale.

Other recommendations fit for a junior/senior high schooler's budget include a couple of $1/oz Clubman Pinauds (Special Reserve - a very good leather; Virgin Island Bay Rum - a good spicy bay rum), Remy Latour's Cigar (a fairly straight forward tobacco fragrance, about $20 for 100 ml), Yves Rocher's Comme Une Evidence (a very good dry woodsy fragrance, $25-45 for 75 ml), and DSquared2 He Wood/He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood (my favorite of the three)/He Wood Ocean Wet Wood (look for 100 ml testers on ebay for between $30-40).

While I agree with others' recommendations not to acquire several $25 frags simply because they are cheap, there is absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing inexpensive fragrances that you enjoy, even if that means you buy more of these fragrances at the expense of buying fewer more expensive fragrances. Collection/accumulation strategies differ and you're in the drivers' seat of your own strategy.

Have fun smelling great!

From that list Diesel Fuel For Life. And your 17 so you will love it and so will the girls.

Then Animale Animale if you like Rochas you might like it. NEVER..NEVER by A Men.

Aqua Di Gio, Le Male, Bleu De Chanel, YSL L'Homme, and Cool Water. While these are not my favorite fragrances, they are all or were really popular.

The lacost in the red bottle (I believe red play?) is around that price point and smells wonderful. Or Libre from YSL.

From the list, Diesel Fuel For Life or Curve. Both are perfectly acceptable for your age group.

Joop! Homme would be the most different from your current lineup. It's one of my least versatile fragrances I own but I still like it for some reason. It gets my vote.

Save up your money and get Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel. It is excellent stuff, very fresh and very good sillage.

+1 to Tony T's entry --- I never did spend at that age, hell, didn't even own any notable cologne / parfum at 17, except some deo sticks.

If at your age u spend more than 50 on parfum / cologne u r wasting $. I would spend it wisely on some $30-50 cologne that is decent to good and will laaaaaast long and spend all other $ on the 2 best creations on our good wide world - ladies & liquor (3rd on that list is parfums)

Animale Animale is best suited for cold weather.

From your list I'd choose Curve. For a similar price and something I think you'd like try Love and Luck by Ed Hardy or Joop Jump! (The exclamation point is part of the name.)

If you're willing to pay about 20 or 30 more there's a world of choices available to test at your local sephora. I'd recommend just going there and sampling as much as you can. The salesgirls will make samples for you you can take home and test out.

Have fun, and let us know what you end up getting!

Get fuel for life. It's reasonably priced, smells great....not too loud or too soft, not too sweet, yet somewhat sweet and fresh....and hardly anyone you know will wear it....win...
