All of these lenses are the very same thing with a different name on them. They are "all" Samyang f/3.5 8mm Fisheye. Forget the rubbish about 6.5mm, 7mm etc they are all 8mm.

These ones are NOT fisheye's so I'm not sure why you have them listed?

The upshot is, the Samyang 8mm is a fine lens and suitable for your needs. It will require a minimum of 4 rotational shots and a Zenith/Up shot to cover the 360x180 sphere. All that said, there are the odd bad one that is released so make sure whichever you buy you have a good return/swap-over policy.
These lenses are 100% manual. Meaning they have no electrical contact with the camera body. You have to manually set the Aperture and manually set the focus. (Which you should do with all Fisheye anyway
