Moto X Style vs Moto X Play vs Moto X4?

Hello there.
Since my current phone is in a critical stage of decay and old age in general, I am looking for a replacement. I'm quite liking some models from Motorola, but I can not clearly decide which one I'm going to get. (Worth adding is that because of a very tight budget, I look for used options.)

 

The phones in question are:

Moto X4 (181 USD) Seems good because it's a relatively new model, 64gb, but I think I'd like to have a bigger screen, and I'm not so fond of glass backs ...

Moto X Style (176 USD) Generally a much nicer design, larger screen. 32gb.

Moto X Play (135 USD) Best battery size, also stylish design. 16gb. However, more plastic in the construction, and not as fast as the one above.

 

(X Style and X Play both come from eBay, X4 is local to me (Sweden), which could be an advantage)

Which of these would you recommend? I'm pretty stuck right now, so any outside opinions would be highly appreciated!
I'm also open to other suggestions.

 

Thanks!

Forget the X Play

 

X Style if you want to root it and slap custom firmware since it has an unlockable bootloader and because the phone is dropped from software support due to its age. Also because Snapdragon 808's a bit of a toaster

 

Out of the 3, I'd go with the X4.
