So which one among them will you prefer? Please state the reason behind your choice and also if you have any other suggestion then feel free to add. This Anti-Ransomware tool will be a worst case scenario like where comodo bugs out and avast for some reason doesn't detect it.

Not my testing. But many other testers such as Cruelsister will tell you that it does an incredible job at fighting ransomware thanks to its behavior blocker.
I don't use the behaviour blocker component, only the file and web shield. Avast BB doesn't play nicely on my machine.

Avast BB and cloud are very good against ransomwares but i highly recommend you to use a backup software like Macrium Reflect free.
I use easeus Todo for monthly image backups. Avast BB doesn't play nicely in my system, it's old, and last time I had avast bb, random freezes were occuring, now only on file and web shield with Max settings for each.
