Appfolio vs Buildium vs Rentec vs Yardi

We're choosing between Appfolio, Buildium, Rentec & Yardi. Any advice on which one to choose?

Many of our tenants need to have the option to pay with cash or money order, so we chose the 4 companies above because they work with PayNearMe, which lets tenants to to 7-11 and places like that, where they'd buy money orders, and instead pay $4 to use PayNearMe to pay their rent. That sounds like we need it, so the cash payers can pay electronically. So, we're not looking at Avail, Rentler, Cozy, eRentPayments, Innago/Quickbooks, because they don't seem to offer a way to pay for cash payers. 

We need to be able to customize monthly bills to add the monthly water bill amount. I also like the idea of tracking maintenance through the app. And, we need to send rent invoices by email.
