The simple answer to your question is Junior is the best in most circumstances
cause it plays most of the time like a human would cq will only a human is more
carefull with his pawnstructure but for the rest it is quite reliable

The long version
But if you want to make deep analysis, with it you can't be sure it will find
the best lines.
 Cause most of the the time it is not the first, the second or the thirth move
wich is important for the mainline, but maybe the fourth, fifth or even 20th
move wich is important for the mainline.
An other quite reliable test can be safe your game delete the moves wich comes
after the critical position.
then create a book put in the game you used saved.
Then  play an engine engine tournament and use the book you just created
Junior6 will not play all games the same you shall see it improves
After playing about 6 till 8 games on tournament level you should try to look at
the games and be critical look if you find an improvement for one or both sides
When you have done that and after you did find improvements save the games you
used played included your analyses put the games in the openings book and play
again a tournament with the same book this is a good way for finding the best
moves I agree it takes a lot of time and work put you can be quite sure you did
find the best moves
When I analyse a game for a new openings move I go even further but that's an
other aproge
I look at the engine engine game look to the critical position go back to that
point try to find an improvement try to keep the position solid and in the
meantime as active as posible keep a good eye on the threats of the oponent and
solve them without loosing to much activety most of the time it can help to
solve a comming problem before it's there
Most importantly try to find a theme (a long during plan) and stick with it.
