How much usage do you expect?
When you say you need to talk for work, is voice clarity important?
For Bahamas, you can pretty much use any of the 3 you listed. The 9555/9575 will work great but if clear voice is very important, you might want to look at GlobalStar. Plus GlobalStar is less expensive. You can get a free
phone and unlimited minutes for $99/month currently.
(Note that the phones are not new, but they have a warranty, etc).
Globalstar coverage should be good in the Bahamas, but globally they have gaps, which is where Iridium shines.
