I checked the Tartanweb site, and their price for Locharron 16 oz. Strome 8-yard standard kilts is $350, so you could have that delivered for the cost of the Scotweb kilt (I'm guessing a total of $380 based on past experience).
As previously mentioned by others, Scotweb tends to ships via Fedex, which means you'll inevitably be it by customs duties, though I seem to remember Nick (Scotweb) having a thread some time ago about offering a DHL delivery option. (I've never had a kilt delivered via DHL, so I can't speak to the likelihood of customs due when using their service.) In fairness to Scotweb, I think some companies tend to understate the value of products shipped in order to avoid customs duties, a practice that, according to Nick, Scotweb does not engage in.
I didn't see the Auld Scotland tartan on the Tartanweb pop-up list, but I suspect that it's probably available at that price. Send them an email to inquire if you're curious.
I don't own a USA Kilt casual or a Scotweb kilt, but I'd steer clear of the B&S casual for the price point. I have one of those, and while it's a nice kilt, the detailing isn't as good as the three Tartanweb kilts I own. (The pleats are top stitched, etc.)
I say the more yardage for the money the better, so I'd go for an 8-yard rather than a 5-yard. So of the three options you listed, I'd go with the Scotweb, based on reviews I've read on this forum, provided that you're prepared for the inevitable customs duties. Barring that, consider other options.
Good luck and am looking forward to seeing what you end up with!
