Jay,

I'm kind of late jumping on the bandwagon here, but I'd like to also suggest
adding the Volksmeter to your list of devices you're considering.   I find
the Volksmeter to be a very useful and practical instrument.   For
educational use it is not only a very good seismometer but demonstrates
principles of pendulum physics  and the capacitive sensor is also very
interesting.

The designer, Dr. Randall Peters of Mercer University in Georgia, is also an
educator and you  may find some synergy there.

I have no first hand experience with the three other devices you mentioned
and of course they also may be very suitable for your application.

Regards,

Bob Thomasson
