Wich of these is the best of 3 for good c-band reception,chaparral 20 deg. c-band lnb,eagle aspen 17db c-band lnb or from skyvision precision gold label series highly stable 15 deg. c-band lnb.
 
pick the most stable one ( it will have a lower stability #)
newer ones are rated at +- 1 Mhz
good ones ar rated at +- 500 kHz
real good ones are rated at +-250 kHz

the lower stability you go the higher the price

a lot of people watch the noise level ( or temp level) and think just because its lower its better, this isn't always true.

a higher temp and lower stability lnb might produce lower signal #'s but will have a better stable picture in most cases.

1) precision gold label series highly stable 15 deg
2) eagle aspen 17db
3) chaparral 20 deg = +/- 2.5 MHz

So your saying the one from skyvision would be best,i was looking at their site and saw this one Norsat 15 degree+/- 500k
 
yes usually the norsats are better i would rate it above the ones you listed

but they have several different series
8525 = +-500khz 25 deg
8520 = +-500khz 20 deg
8515 = +-500khz 15 deg
8225 = +-250khz 25 deg
8220 = +-250khz 20 deg
8215 = +-250khz 15 deg
8125 = +-100khz 25 deg
8120 = +-100khz 20 deg
8115 = +-100khz 15 deg
