(For those not in the know, you can remove fiend hunter or oblivion ring with their enters the battlefield ability on the stack, effectively removing their targets forever. This doesn't work with banisher priest or banishing light.)
I saw foils of each of the new versions in a trade binder, but couldn't justify picking them up.
I guess you could run both if you really needed a lot of this effect, but is there any specific reasons why you'd pick the new versions?
I don't think I'd run either in an EDH deck. Creatures are just too fragile. I'd much rather take Oblivion Ring and friends. Fiend Hunter/O-Ring do allow for possible strategic silliness though.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
They are almost strictly worse, yes. You only use them if you want O-ring #2 or FH#2. There would have to be some super niche interaction for something like FH to be worse...like somehow redirecting his ETB on the stack (is there even a card that can do that? maybe getting mindslavered or something) or if one more power REALLY matters for some reason.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
A friend has a casual (non edh) deck with Banishing Light, Oblivion Ring, Banisher Priest and Fiend Hunter with the goal of creating a million cats using Ajani's Chosen. Three of the "exile until leaves play" cards creates an infinite etb loop. With constellation being a thing who knows.

Two of those four cards does not work for that combo. Banishing Light And Banisher Priest can only target oppeonts stuff.

Ghave, Guru of Spores and Teysa, Orzhov Scion say "That's a feature!" due to the O-ring trick. But that doesn't apply to these new O-ring cards.
On phasing:
I’ve never seen anyone play the latter two
perhaps in other formats the latter 2 would be more effective
