I have the Sigelei and my roommate has the IPV3 we both really like ours. Anything in particular you're looking for that they may not all have?
My two cents:
Sigelei 150W - The 100W and 100W plus boxes have gone a long way in restoring faith in Sigelei as a company. The fact that they have opened up a US service/warranty center is great, should you run into any issues. This is a well-specced box, and while I have not played around much with one, I would expect it to perform well. The price point definitely makes this a contender.
IPV3 - I have seen IPV2's which have been nothing short of abused continue to work like a champ day in and day out. I would not expect any less from the IPV3. It sits a little big in the hand, though - definitely a touchy-feely before buying box for me. It can be a little pricey, though, P4Y was pretty aggressive with their minimum pricing. Is it worth it against the Sigelei, though???
GodBox - no. Just plain no. It's so big, it's like vaping on a dictionary. A 0.5 ohm lower limit (although I have seen instances of them being built down to the high .3's) doesn't make a lot of sense for a box specced like that. A coworker had one, and used it for about a week before she traded it for a Valkyrie which had been dropped in gravel a number of times over. Given what you are looking at, I would just cross the God Mod right off the list.
Hexohm. Hmm, an interesting entry in this list, as I consider the hex-ohm to be a semi-mech. You are losing a lot of the protections offered by the other two reg mods. When it comes to building, you take all the control into your hands, as this is a VV device, as opposed to VW like the others above. The lack of a voltage display (although there are other Raptor and OKL/OKR chipset boxes have voltometers) means you either need to vape by feel, or pack a voltage checker around. It is possible to break through the specs of the chip, though, and the chip will not last long. Recently, we had a member on the local FB group fire a 0.09 ohm coil on his Hexohm. I am just glad it is still working, as anything under 0.3 ohm will just stress the chip. Hexohms and other boxes in that category are very nice, though, but due to the way they operate in general, they are in a different class compared to the other three.

yes i believe all of them will handle .24 and even lower.
id look into the sigelei 100w/150w or the ipv3.
annoyances of the ipv3 is that you need to take batterys out to charge and the battery door is not magnetic so its not as convenient. i personally prefer how the ipv3 looks but will probably pick up a sigelei 150 for the magnetic door.

I'd look into the Sigelei 150W. Lot of my friends recently scooped it up, and it's a really great box. The button feels nice, and it has plenty of features and stuff. I also like the grippy sleeves that you can buy for it (although, that does make me worried because, in the event of the mod getting hot, you'd have no chance of popping the batteries before a catastrophic occurrence).
But yeah, I'd say Sigelei over IPV, for sure.

You can technically build to .24ohm on a Hexohm, however you will want to make sure to keep your voltage below 5V (Hexohm runs 3.3-6.0V), as the chipset is rated for 20A, and 5V is 20.8A. I have seen them operate higher than 20A, but I can not speak for the lifespan of the chip at that point.
The God Mod sometimes fires down to about 0.42 ohm, but is only specced to 0.5 ohm.

I got an IPV3 and it has been awesum, i would like to retrofit the door with magnets though.
Out of the options you posted the Hexohm. I'd suggest a BOOMbox 120 watt by Paul Trout. You can find them on Facebook.
