I'd probably er on the higher torque side, and go for the 3.0Nm motors, certainly on the X and Y, as that's the axes that will be worked the hardest.
Z axis isn't usually worked quite as hard, so is usually more dependant on how heavy your Z-axis assembly is going to be, so the smaller motor may be good enough, although if you have the space, there wouldn't be any real downside to a larger motor.
Most modern steppers are technically Hybrid motors.
Bi Polar/Uni Polar depends on how they're wired, but for DM drivers you'll want them Bi Polar, and typically wired in parallel (that's if the motors are 8 wire. Some are only 4 wire so you don't get an option between parallel/series, and some are 6 wire for UniPolar/Series use only)
The key specification you want to look at, is the inductance figure. The lower the inductance figure, the better performing the motor is at speed.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.
