Well, look at SSDF for example, currently Fritz 6 is still rated equally to
Crafty or Ruffian 2 on an Athlon 1200, when running on a K6-450, so it has good
chances in a match even with these conditions.

From your candidate list Ruffian 1.01 is the only one that might compete
successfully with Fritz 6 IMHO, but you never know.

Look at the full list that also has all the older engines at
