The first one you mentioned sounds best out of the three.
Given this is your / your OH's first time caring for a cat I'd suggest getting one that isn't too sick to be frank - I think it's wonderful that you're even considering getting a cat with health issues in the first place, but an animal needing daily meds / one that has severe issues will most likely be too much.

CHAT have got in touch with a couple of cats who they think would be suitable for us.
One cat with FIV+, deaf in one ear, Horners Syndrome which is something to do with his eyes (not really noticeable) and has some balance/stability issues.
13 years old, diabetic; foster situation where they would cover the medication and check ups
Cat with severe trauma/fear issues, apparently when they brought here in she'd just wet herself when they were trying to socialise. Apparently improved a lot, but is on a sensitivity diet...
Think #2 is out of the question, as sweet as he looks I'm not sure either me or my OH could deal with it
