Three great bands. PFM gets my vote, only because personal taste, but the three are fantastic, with a lot of classics under their belts.

Premiata for me.
What they do on their early albums is amazing.
(I didn't check out their highly praised Stati Di Immaginazione album yet)

3 solid bands......but I play PFM more  since they are a bit more accesible for me.

Premier Fornicating Balboni for me.
I'll take Battiato over any of these though, and I love them all. Just illustrates my unhealthy obsession with the dude...
