I have not ridden in a 6th gen yet I have a few times ridden in a 5th gen. I am glad the interior has changed and matches the looks of the exterior. I have been a car guy most of my life so looking forward to learning a lot

I can't speak for the Mustang as I haven't driven one since 2003, but the Challenger Scat Pak and the Camaro SS are both very different cars, and both absolutely awesome cars at that.
For sheer fun and comfortable cruising, the Scat Pak is probably top choice. I'd still love to get one. The handling isn't as bad as people make out - I had a 2015 Charger R/T Road & Track and had no trouble cornering at speed. The only thing bad with that car was that it had an open diff, which I hated. The Challenger has LSD, so no such issue there.
The Camaro SS is *probably* the best handling car I've driven, though. It's fun, it's fast, and it corners amazingly. The only thing I don't like are the brakes - I prefer something with a much firmer bite. As soon as EBC make brakes for the 6th Gen I'll be upgrading. You need to put a little more effort in to get the most fun from it than you do with the Scat Pak, but it's the better "driver's car" overall. I have zero regrets driving a 2016 2SS, and can't wait to get on the track this year.
With regards to fit, I'm a 5'10 bodybuilder weighing 240lbs and I find the Camaro to be very comfortable. No issues there at all.
Ultimately, though, as others have said, test driving them all is the best thing you can do. Pitching them all against each other to get the best price is worth trying, too. You may also find you have different transmission preferences in the different cars. For instance, I like the Scat Pak with the auto box, but the Camaro feels right with the manual.
