Which ATI SD capture device is best?

I played my VHS tape with the most flagging on a regular Sony VHS player to see how three ATI capture devices handle it. It was a kind of stress test. These are the capture devices I tested:

ATI USB 2.0
ATI TV Wonder 600
ATI All-In-Wonder 9600XT

The VHS tape contains a cable television recording from 1986, recorded in EP (SLP) mode on a Panasonic Omnivision VHS VCR model PV-1265. It was recorded onto a VHS tape over a previous recording. As a result, there is flagging and tearing, making it great example of a terrible recording.

In addition to the three ATI capture devices, I also tested a MiniDV camcorder. Most/all experts at DigitalFAQ don't consider this a good method because of its compressed color space. But others on YouTube, such as @TechTVusa claim that the ATI cards are crap compared to the DV method.

The ATI samples were captured as AVI files (HuffYUV) and deinterlaced TFF with QTGMC in Hybrid, and resized to 1080p and exported to ProRes 422 MOV. The DV file was deinterlaced BFF with QTGMC in Hybrid and resized to 1080p and exported to ProRes 422 MOV. No other filters were used in Hybrid.
