I've only used air hauler (and 2), it's good, bit clunky maybe but there's a lot to it and it's very addictive - I'd probably go for 2 over 1. I've heard good things about FsPassengers too though and FSEconomy from people who've used them.

Research and try them all out, make your decision based on your preffered style of play. A free one you did not mention=FSCaptain. I have it installed but haven't played or even cracked open the manual yet. I have the demo version of FSpassengers and have a full career/airline type pilot going on it. Started with a C172 to earn first $, then more passengers with a Citation X business jet, then the CRJ700 and now a 727-200=94 passengers, I earned about 1.4 mil in it from KSFO to KSAN last flight. No 747 yet, they are so expensive it will be awhile. There are different types of careers that arent quite as hard and start out with more $. The co-pilot/crew pack interactions add to realism as well as in-flight emergencies that test your skills. The after flight feedback report has tought me things. I like the xtra crewpacks/chatter channels/payload models you can get (or create). I consider my pilot is based out of San Francisco/Oakland for now (the only two airports you can fly out of in the demo). So I can say FSPassenters is entertaining and a challenge. It takes a lot of flying to earn $ to get bigger/better planes. You can earn more by making it over the war zones without getting shot down and/or short tour flights as well. You can keep your older planes or sell them for $. I like it a lot and would like to purchase it but can't. I'm going to feature an fspassengers flight on my ytube channel as my next flight video. (See the channel name in my user Icon, to check it out/subscribe). I haven't tried the others you mention but theres my 2 cents on FSCaptain and Fspassengers.

actually another one I forgot is Aerosoft's African Adventures add on

https://www.aerosoft.com/us/Flight-Simulation/Flight-Simulator-X/Sceneries/179/African-Airstrip-Adventures

it adds a large area of scenery and some airstrips then I think it's a mission you can play that gives you different jobs to fly, like a career mode. The career aspect of it won't be as detailed as the other add ons but it does add some scenery to explore and might be worth looking up some reviews if it looks interesting. Again I've not tried it and it's pretty old now tbh but I think it got some good reviews when it came out.
