Hi Since you don’t know all the parameters of the design of the 53310, it’s going to be tough to define “best” in terms of an OCXO. None of the parts on your list are better than a 10811 in all respects.
Best to simply get a couple of 10811’s for $40 or so and spend some time sorting them out. Use the one that has the best aging.
