All you are testing is which program is best when its opening book is disabled.
Does this indicate anything useful, I don't think so.

Its pretty easy for a programmer to get a program to play sensible looking
openings, but many don't bother as an opening book is an easier more effective
solution.

I think a better idea for what you seem to be trying to do is to play programs
starting from various typical middlegame positions.
