Print them to whatever size you desire. See if you can discern any differences. Discard those not up to your personal taste. You have the winners. My guess would be that you will not be able to differentiate between them, including the Iphone, up to A3 size, at normal viewing distances (pixel peeping is another matter altogether, but it serves no purpose, and is a waste of time). If you normally print that size or less, you can use anything you like. If you do not print at all and only post online, or take only small/medium JPEGs, why are you wasting money on camera equipment?
