I'm afraid none of that is an appropriate choice, apart from, probably,
that JLink clone. Unless you runtime-test it, it's hard to tell whether
it would work with OpenOCD or not.

If you're looking for the cheapest solution, then probably the official
FT232H breakout board (with ~47 Ohms series resistors on every signal
line) is the optimal known-to-work solution. If you want something a bit
better, with output buffer and such, then probably TUMPA or Olimex or
Flyswatter2. DP BusBlaster will work too, but I'm afraid its CPLD might
be a bit more sensitive to rough handling and thus less reliable.

If you just want to try JTAGing something right now, you can probably
take any board that has 4 spare GPIOs and use "sysfsgpio" driver or if
you have a raspberrypi, then a faster bcm2835 driver (but do not forget
about matching voltages, and possibly you'll need series resistors there
as well, depends on the target).
