Well you have a lot of products listed there. Generally anything measured in the format "160/75" is genuine issue as that's a somewhat arbitrary measurement system that some European forces seem to have fallen in love with. Hardly an accurate system but close enough I suppose. Anything that bears the three crowns is definitely issue.

General issue M90 is typically far heavier than any reproduction gear. There are tropical versions that are lighter but they're extremely rare on the open market. Tacgear is excellent quality, Tacupgear is pretty good but I prefer the Tacgear, colors are a little more true and overall build seems more rugged. Both are usually lighter than issue so if you're in a hot climate they are a good choice.

I'm not an expert on cut so I won't even venture a comment other than to say I quite like the stuff I wear. About the only M90 I would shy away from is the MMB stuff. Decent if your concern is cost, but not even close in quality to any of the other manufactures. My set of MMB sits in the closet now.
