Performance

Good;fast chip and low data amount result in  a quick read  time

Not great;the built in encryption slows down the read time

Awesome;latest chip and antenna design and low data size result in quick read time

Slow,due to older chip design and larger data size

Our Opinion

OK,if you only need minimal storage .If you are going to use NDEF ,then it would be better to use the NTAG

Similar to the NTAG,but performance is not that great.The additional data storage over the Ultralight is nice you aren’t to use 

The best all around chip to use if you’re using NDEF

Only use this chip if you need the additional data storage
