They're all fast enough and saying the G1820 is the fastest is shortsighted. CPU performance on the G1820 is better than the other two, but the other two do better on the GPU side.
None of that really matters though, as we're talking about using it in an HTPC, which you want to be silent. And then there's another factor that comes into play: TDP. The A6 is out of the question, that's a 65W CPU. The G1820 is still 53W. The 5350 is just 25W. That's the one I'd go with. You can cool it passively.
My HTPC is still on an ancient E7400 and yes, 65W is still too much. It still needs too loud of a cooler - and your options on that front in an HTPC case are limited to say the least.

Or just buy Raspberry Pi, that thing runs 1080p videos flawlessy with XBMC.
