I got quoted $485 yesterday but don't know if that was list or what. There are two versions -- an older one with a gold center crest -- quoted $385, and this newer embossed crest version at $485. Personally, I like the embossed version. Perhaps one of the "15% over cost" Porsche parts stores can quote you a good price. The part number on the embossed version is 000-043-161-00-8YR according to the ebay ad.
I my opinion, either of these factory choices are close enough to being reasonably priced that I would consider them over aftermarket options.

I had the Porsche Design wheel on my old car. It was a nice wheel but it was not as chunky as the OEM. Good thing though was that you could actually see the dials. Now that I have the computer on my car I have it set on digital speedo and I don't have to guess the speed any more!

The MOMO PD wheel is more of a designer(concept) type of steering wheel IMO. Definitely not a thick wheel for AX or DE. But you could still use it, it's something different.

For a non-airbag wheel, I'd go for the RS wheel from Gert.

Honestly, I'm not crazy about any of the wheels you're looking at, but if I had to make a choice, number four seems tolerable. Can't stand the chrome, Pep Boys job.
My personal favorite is the wheel that comes in the Cup cars, the Porsche Motorsports wheel aka the Momo Mod .07 wheel. Excellent diameter, superb grip, perfect hand placement and just-right looks. Of course, I'm a bit biased:
