They are all only marginally different... I'll go for Plymouth for having the most sun...

Oceanic climates don't have much variation in temperatures though, so a difference of 1-3C in average temperature can and does have a noticeable difference.

I would pick either Southampton or Reading. Southampton overall has the nicer climate but Reading has more 25C days.

They're all very similar of course, but I'm sure one is significantly snowier than the other, due to elevation or whatever.. I'll go with Reading.

I think Salisbury is probably the snowiest. Southampton definitely gets the least amount of snow, even less than Plymouth. In the 4 years I was there, it snowed on 2 days and settled once (in Jan/Feb 2009).

It hardly ever snows in Salisbury, I know because I live there. It's only 20 miles from Southampton so theres probably not too much difference.
I'd say Reading would get most snow and also the highest temperatures, I choose Reading.

South Hampton, winter is okay (for this part of the world) and summer is warmer than Plymouth, which was the other contender.

I like Southampton. The winter looks almost perfect, chilly but not brutal. Does Southampton get more sun than London? If Heathrow is getting around 1700 hours, don't you think Southampton should be a little more than what is listed?
