On a 1.4 GHz system, any of the above will be more than plenty. For systems at or below about 233 MHz, I'd strongly recommend a lighter-weight client. I find text-mode browsers work well -- w3m and lynx. For graphical clients, BrowseX (not packaged for Debian, but available as a single binary) is pretty slick and runs very well on systems down to 486s (which **really** ought to be retired by now).
