After searching Mobil Delvac Super/MX on Google, I noticed it appears to be comonly recommended for diesel Mercedes. Would you recommend it over the two oils I just mentioned?

Cost is of little convern to me when it comes to picking an oil so there is no need to take that into account when making a recommendation.
Premium Blue is a good oil although can't match either Delo or Delvac, Amsoil synth is top notch but if cost is not a concern, make it Delvac-I synthetic, you can't get a better diesel oil but I suggest you do some reading on the net on the UOAs for all these oils, in the end, you will find HDEO like Delo 400 or Delvac Super represent best value.
