Hi ! I’m in the Caribbean and Coccothrinax are quiet common. 
I almost sure about the Id of those three

Barbadensis : common here, growing like weed on the limestone part of the island.

Argentata : think it’s a pure one, long an thin petiole with clearly silver leaves

Crinita : you can’t mistake it for an other one

but this one I got it as a seedling “Coccothrinax palm” 

lingula is not yellow bright so clearly not barbadensis. Seems to grow a little slower, and the leaves are not doing a full circle. If anyone recognize it, or maybe a hybrid.

Those are lovely . I can’t help with ID , I only have one here . Mine never really thrived here but plugs along slowly . It was purchased over 25 years ago from Phil at Jungle Music and he wasn’t sure which species it was . It was very small and I planted it out in the yard right away . I posted here and someone said it was Barbadensis due to the orange look to the hastula. I am in a 10a climate , no frost. HarryIMG_4212.thumb.jpeg.cf4785e8c5005769d49e382bc00693d3.jpeg

They just don’t look as good here in full sun . I don’t think we have the humidity they like.

Perhaps it's Thrinax rather than Coccothrinax.

I also had this idea, but I was told that on thrinax the base of the petiol divide.

#2 I would say more likely C. argentea than C. argentata. Easy to confuse those names. C. argentata, at least the Florida form, is delicate, wispy, small and slow. 

I have many of these questions about my own plants, whether they are hybrids or the species are hard to discern. I agree that the last one is probably Thrinax based on the disorderly trunk fiber. The split leaf bases might not be obvious at that size.
