NXS hands down. They have 100 MOA of elevation which is plenty for most shooting applications. The Razor has 125 but who how many will actually need that is questionable.
The NXS is less $$ and is 2nd focal plane so the reticle is a constant size, in FFP scopes the reticle changes size with magnification.
Lastly reticle choices are more abundant with the NXS.
We sell all of the brands you mention

I've got a Mark 4 LR/T and 2 NXS. I like all of them but prefer the NXS. Standard lighted reticle, more reticle choices, MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA turret and reticle, and lower profile turrets. The only thing about the NXS that bugs me is that the entire eyepiece rotates when you move through the power settings. Makes having a flip-open cover a PITA, though not impossible to deal with.
In the Vortex line, the Razor is tops for optical quality and I love mine. I also have the Viper PST and the glass is not quite as good, but the second focal plane reticle, smaller physical size, and the lower price makes it a more attractive package for most shooters. Most features are similar too, like the customizeable rotational stop, illuminated reticle, four inch eye relief, 65 moa of adjustment, mil/mil or moa/moa, and side focus knob make the PST a great scope for less than $900. In fact I find myself using the PST a lot more than the Razor!
