Haven't had time to research all on the OP's list.
I also subscribe to the younger is better, ONLY for the sake of obviously longer terms. Of course there is much to be said for experience as well.

#9, Joan Larsen
#16, Amul Thapar
#18, David Stras
Of the four, Amul Thapar is the only one that has no experience as a Supreme Court Justice at the state level. But his history shows a penchant toward the application of stern sentencing and decision making, after deliberation.

Is Amul Thapar an Originalist though? That seems to be the main ideological consideration for Scalia's seat.
Stras is the youngest candidate on this list, but he's a large man, so that may worry some people if they take into consideration the health of the candidates.
