We're going to have open-air party (50-100 people) for which we'll have to rent PA system. We're going to use notebook + midi controller for music source and we'll probably play electronic/house music mainly. Since we're a limited by transport, system should be as small as possible while as loud and as quality possible. I've got several offers but these 3 are in my top selection. Please note that 3rd one is almost 2x more expensive, so 1st or 2nd ones should be preferred.

1st:
2x EV ZLX12P
1x subwoofer FBT MAXX10SA

2nd:
2x Wharfedale SH1294
1x Wharfedale SH1500

3rd:
2x Martin Audio V3X
1x Martin Audio WSX

I don't have much experience with PA systems, so I was wondering if you could please advise me on which system to go with? Thanks in advance!

Martin Audio - every single time. I swear by it and spec it wherever possible.

But, would suggest a couple of S218 and H3 instead of the ones you posted.
