The BV4113 is a motor controll that requires only one communication wire. It's the easiest of all motor controllers to use. It also allows speed control (which hasn't been implemented yet)

The TB6612Fng motor controller is a standard hbridge. it requires many wires to be soldered, takes 4 digital i/o ports on the ez-b, and does not have speed control.

The i2c Stepper Motor Controller is for stepper motors, not regular motors. ARC does not have stepper motor control built in - yet.
