Out of those, I would choose the Thinkpad first without even giving it much thought. Dell would be a consideration only if it was substantially less expensive or otherwise more appealing. HP is simply a "hell, no" in this class and price range.
I would also suggest at least taking a look at the 13", smallest of the "thin and light" class models. Fujitsu and Sony have some, so do other manufacturers. 13" is a nice size -- although bigger than what you are considering, it is definitely not too big. If you can deal with that form factor, you can get much more CPU power, a full size keyboard and a standard built-in optical drive (which most featherweights lack).
