You have 4 males, but do not mention age or weight, proven or unproven breeders. That is an important factor depending on how many of your females will be ready this year. If only 0.2 females will be ready I would say dump the males least likely to breed this year and move up a notch in genetics.
Everyone will laugh, but the only male there I would hold is the Mojave for BEL’s with the 0.1 Lesser. Yes, The 1.0 Lemonblast is a double gene, but not a powerhouse by any means. The others I do not see much potential genetic growth with your females (maybe a KillerBlast from a 0.1 Pastel x 1.0 Lemonblast). Run each male down your list of females and see what you end up with. Anything strike you as a drop dead hatchling?
I would no doubt be looking at a double gene Enchi (Enchi Fire or Enchi Pastel), or a double gene Fire (Nuclear, Calico Fire, Sugar Fire, FireFly). The Enchi and Fire genes set things to the next level genetically and do great things with color and patterns. Everyone has an Enchi on their short list and that is probably where I would start looking to get him ready for this coming season.
This is a really good article I like to share from time to time. Print this article out, and every time you go to purchase a bp, pull it out of your pocket and read it. You will likely save yourself hundreds of dollars from the free wisdom of a great breeder and a 2 cent piece of paper.:

Anyways… here are my non-recessive powerhouse examples. I have a few other powerhouses, but not in your price range mentioned. You could also step into other recessive projects if Pieds or Clowns suit you fancy.
