The second one, I think is the best in these options, the compressor seems to be quite powerful for the price and size... Can't wait to hear what you think

I couldn't find the compressor size on the second one, but I have a feeling it's smaller/less powerful than what I use. Also, you're getting two siphon-fed airbrushes with it that you will likely not use - they're not really designed for food coloring. All the others have small compressors, likely to give you speckled spray patterns. This Paasche system is close to what I have, though it has no quick-connect adaptor on the hose that I can see: https://www.amazon.com/Paasche...aps%2C187&sr=8-9
This airbrush is actually what mine was designed from, though this Badger Patriot 105 does not have the quick-connect adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/Badger-...aps%2C453&sr=8-5 My system is hooked up to a 1/5 hp compressor that is nearly identical - if not identical - to the Paasche one in the link above.
If you are just starting out - come to think of it - you might try the TruColor battery-operated, portable one. It's heavy and a bit awkward to handle, and has a small compressor in the handle, but it actually does a pretty decent job and has a big capped cup. I've got a couple of them and sometimes use them. Their spray pattern isn't quite as even as mine, but it's better than some of the smaller ones I mentioned earlier. This one is similar to - if not the exact same - as the TruColor one: https://www.amazon.com/ROADTEC...TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== (Note: This airbrush is made in China and so you'll see different brands of it, but they are all basically the same machine just private-labelled differently. Likewise, all the compressors come from China, and the US companies just private-label them; the only US-made airbrush guns that I know of are Paasche and Badger. I say this, because any compressor coming out of China is likely to be of unpredictable quality, but that's all we've got to choose from . . .)
