Which one is better for me?
Trying to drop my 800 from 2:12 to 2:07, 1600m from 5:05 to 4:48, and 3200m from 11:11 to 10:50

Pretty sure advances in fitness will produce those drops not a pair of spikes.
Well ability matters a lot more than the spikes but my rankings in best spikes goes (Top 5)
1:NB MD 800v3 2:Nike Victory 2 3.Nike Victory 3 4.NB MD 800v5 5. Asics cosmoracer
Not sure why you would put the vic 2 ahead of the vic 3....Must be smoking or just have the vic 2s and want an excuse to not go get the 3s..
I think the victory 2's are lighter than the victory 3's

I've said this in another thread before, but I may like the Victory 2 more because I love the colors (mine are all pink) while my Vic 3s are only half and I love pink spikes. If only they made purple/pink spikes for men 😢
the original victories are even lighter. Just wish I could find them again cause those were the best spikes Ive ever owned
If they fit:
Adidas MD2 for 400-1500
(See Rudisha)
Adidas Adizero Avanti for 1500 and above.
(Avanti's have boost sole and hybrid strike plate that makes it work really in turns and especially indoors, still flexible but stiff on banks and turns, + feather light)
You will absolutely switch to Adidas spikes forever once you try these.

So, so, so, true. They are great for guys in their mid 30s with a few creeks. Tried a pair of Pumas for training in today, total crap. Only run in Adidas, Nike and New Balance spikes (can't vouch for Saucony though I have heard good things). If you are over 30, adidas Avanti for racing, Cadence for training.
95% of it is how they fit. Unless the spikes weigh over like 6oz, just judge by how they fit and if they're for your events.
Seriously, even a whole 2oz difference between spikes will make close to no difference. In workouts, I never have a noticeable difference between wearing my Vics and LTs. I'm sure the difference between 2 elite spikes will be significantly less than what is already almost nothing.
