Myers is closer in character to Coruba than the other options. Hamilton Pot Still Black is VERY different. It's good, but not a substitute for any blended black. You can use it in small quantities as an ingredient to create a Kohala Bay substitute however (see Kohala Bay thread).
Appleton Reserve is also somewhat similar to Coruba and a very good mixer.

I've heard great things about Coruba, but haven't seen it on a shelf in any store around me (Seattle). I might ask my local store if they can order it, as I have seen it in bars, so it is probably distributed here. If I can't find it, do you think Hamilton Pot Sill Black or Blackwell makes a better one to have around.
I'll definitely pick up the Lemon Hart 151. I have not seen the Hamilton 151.
I want to pick up the Clement VSOP, but the $ for it seems so high. Part of the reason I stopped drinking so much bourbon is that the bottles I loved kept creeping up in price or became impossible to find.
I see the Appleton White, Special, Signature and Reserve all the time. And my local store has the 21, but I haven't seen the 12 on any shelves.
