I'm thinking this is a Microphone vs Piezo issue. When strings get old, (very quickly pronounced with nylon strings) the frequency components change and maybe the changes are being heard better (or worse!) due the sound traveling through air and bouncing around. The Snark, less accurate -has its reading that everything is fine and so it comes down to the Strobo vs the mic tuners. Just a theory... Thanks for the video!
So which one gets you closer to tuning heard in songs? I had been using Guitar Tuna forever and recently got the Strobo Clip and saw the same differences you show. It feels like with the default (non-sweetened) preset, the Strobo Clip is a bit off (sharp when playing over a song). Not sure what to do with all that.
Snark will not be as accurate as the Peterson. Go try to find an accuracy spec. They won't give one. You can find tests showing they won't show out of tune until 4 cents off.
A beginner should buy the cheapest one, because it doesn't matter, since your ear isn't good enough to hear the differences. After a few years, once your ear is developed, you should buy a more expensive one.

I would trust the Peterson over the others

So im new to guitars. Which of these would you recommend to a beginner?
Snark will do the job. It's the easiest one to use.
