First: choosing a guitar is just like choosing a girlfriend - nobody can tell you which one you will fall in love with.

On that background some points to ponder, your list has all these options, and IMHO they differ quite a lot:
Do you like the vintage 7.25" or modern 9.5"?
Which bridge is your favorite - the "easy" Mastery, the "upgraded" Adjusto-Matic™, or the "high maintenance" vintage style?
What kind of finish do you prefer, the Roadworn's thin style, gloss nitro like the Classic Player LAQ, or Poly (I'll take a wild guess that's in the Japanese)?
Pickups... the list offers at least vintage style, hotter, and almost scorching to choose from.
And: are you sure you like the 24" scale - what kind of guitars do you usually enjoy (Strats, Teles, Jazzmasters are 25.5", Gibsons usually 24.75").

I'll give up - only you can decide which one you marry.

Hey, wait! Look what a clever idea Fender has come up with:

Thank you for reply sir! You mentioned some things I haven't thought about.

I live in town where I can't find fenders to try out. I've been playing with telecaster copy for 8 years and haven't touched much other guitars. It might sound stupid but i'm going to be honest:

1. I wonder how different it feels. I never thought about that. I need to try both to see the difference.

2. Have no idea what difference these three types makes...? I know that people put mustang bridges on their Jaguars, because of lower E problems. Gonna research.

3. In my opinion this is the best Jag finish ever: http://www.vintageandrare.com/uploads/p ... iginal.jpg and i missed this used vintage reissue for 600 in second hand and i really regret it.

These are cool too but not as classy as first one: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0332/7 ... 1419871448

4. I dont know! The one thing sure is that I don't want guitar to be super clinicaly clean. I haven't played with humbucker pick ups ever in my life. I know they should sound clean. What's the fiddenrece between "vintage" and "hotter" ?

5. My hands are not the smallest ones, but I don't mind smaller scale I think should be easier to play.

6. I'm based in europe. So no calls to usa:)

On Fender pickups, I tend to associate "vintage" to "cleaner, light overdrive" (think surf, indie or ambient) and "hot" to "dirty, heavy, fuzzlike" (think grunge, metals etc.). That's of course not comprehensive, or even always true.
But single coils vs humbuckers - they are different (no better/worse comparison here).

On bridges, there are the setup issues. But: a good pro can set up any of those bridge models so the guitar plays as it should (plus I'll add the Staytrem to the list, because it seems to be getting good grades in the web). Then there is the vintage factor; some just want to use the original style hardware.

I'd say all the guitars you have linked here should play like Jags do. But, if possible, try some guitars before you decide - use friends, the music scene in your town, maybe take a day trip to some bigger city...
And if all else fails: Thomann has a nice return policy (and a skillful translator): "30 Tage Money Back Garantie" :lol:

I really liked the Classic Player I tried. I played both versions. I love my Classic Player Jazzmaster. For my 45th birthday in 2012 my wife bought me a Squier Vintage Modified jaguar. I have several Squier models and I like them a LOT. The Classic Player for me has a great bridge. I cranked the pickups down to mellow them out and it sounds vintage. You need to try them out, there are good ones and sometimes a few clunkers out there.
