When you say "all 3 platforms" be aware that you are talking PC, PS3 and Xbox360.

None of the wheels you listed support Xbox One, and the status of Logitech or Fanatec wheel support on the ps4 is unclear right now (no driving sims have yet been released for PS4 so nobody can confirm whether or not Fanatec or Logitech wheels work in game).

So my comment to you is to stop and think whether "last gen" console support is interesting to you from here on.

P.s. GT5 and GT6 actually alter the degrees of steering used on a 900 degree wheel per car. Other modern sims on the PC do likewise. So you can leave a wheel at 900 and let the sim give you realistic degrees of rotation.
 
Bad time to be looking for next gen wheels, that said - it doesn't look like you are after next gen, so G27 would be the standard suggestion here

It's much smoother when your turning it, it feels less clunky, and my favorite thing about it is the customization(steering degrees, vibration, force feedback, etc.)

Why would it be a bad time? The CSR and Elite are considered next gen...I would want one if it weren't for the ugly/bad rim.

Assuming I can interpret what you are saying, the answer is no. Xbox One has a completely different force feedback system which requires both software and hardware changes in the wheel. Fanatec has already clearly stated that their current wheels won't ever be able to be made compatible with the new Xbox One. (And I say this as a Fanatec GT2 owner with years of experience playing Forza). In fact, Fanatec's current statement is that they are looking into a new Clubsport Wheel type base which could work with Xbox One and be used with their pedals and Clubsport rims.

You need to read around the internet, understand how XID and HID differ, understand how Microsoft has been releasing not-backwards-compatible versions of XID with each new console necessitating new peripherals each time. Then you can make an educated decision going forward.


P.s. Currently only Thrustmaster has released a wheel for Xbox One (the TX), and it shares peripheral support (rims and pedals) with the T500RS which has also been confirmed to have drivers on the PS4. Logitech support on PS4 is unclear, Fanatec piggy-backs on Logitech support currently, so support for their wheels is also unclear.

I've owned both the G27 and T500 and have enjoyed/enjoy them both greatly, but there is no XBOX support for them. If you want a NICE wheel that supports the 360/PC/PS3 the CSR Elite is the only show in town (I've never used one but I have heard great things) but they are discontinued last I knew and not cheap. If the XBOX support is not vital... welll... the T500 is pretty dang nice. =)
 
G27 if xbox is not an issue. If it is than the CSR is the only choice. I have all of the wheels you are looking at except the CSR. I even have a t500. I have owned the elite wheel as well but sold it due to known issues and a rumor of it being discontinued.
The GT2 and the CSR are basically the same wheel with a few differences. The rim is wrapped in different material and the internals in the CSR are a newer version of the GT2.
To me the big selling point for the Fanatecs would be if you can get one with the CSP V2's(pedals) The pedals are the easy selling point and in my opinion make a subpar wheel a lot better and enjoyable because of how superior the pedals are versus others in that price range.
I'm waiting for someone to make the SPV2's work on a T500 and I'm in heaven. There are people right now as we speak that are doing this for the TM TX so a T500 mod is also possible.........
Sorry to side track. I hope this little bit of information helps you out.
