I have a Columbo Anderson 34% and it is a fantastic flying plane, but the added weight of a DA isn't necessary. A BME 110 would be more fitting due to the weight savings. I have a BME 105 on mine and it is a great combo. It would handle the weight of the DA if you wanted to go that route, but you would probably have to have your batteries back in the fuse a little bit. The Columbo is a light design and if you keep it light it will be a sweet airplane.

Those are all nice choices. Also, take a look at the Aero-works Extra 260. They will be here in a couple weeks and are as A.R.F. as can be, next to turn-key! Go to www.aero-works.net and check out the video of it flying...

I think any of the three planes you mentioned would be fine, I have both the 2.6 extra and 2.6 yak, personally, i think the extra may have the edge for 3D, however the yak is more stable than the extra in hover, but the extra is slightly better in harrier. I am definately not to be considered an expert in all matters 3D, and this is my opinion based on flying both models against each other weekly.
