Well, the Pioneer is only rated for 40 watts rms, while the Infinity is 100 watts rms, and the Kenwood 150 watts rms (which is suspect). Ignore max power. If you are putting an amp to these speakers, match the power. If these are hooking directly to a head unit, ignore power ratings.
You are on a good track looking at speakers available at Best Buy. NOT because they know there stuff (majority know nothing so do NOT listen to the sales people), but because you can go into the store and LISTEN to the speakers. This is the most important and key part to buying speakers. I love the sound of my 6.5 pioneers for heavy rock music, but they require some equalizer tuning to get nice sounding rap music. Since rock is my main music, perhaps others could throw in some opinions for other music.
IIRC, when I was interested in upgrading my 6.5s, I went to B.B. to listen to some speakers, and the Inifinities were really impressive.
But again, that is my ears listening for the sound that I want. Your ears may like something different.

If those are your only choices, choose the Infinity.
Even without a sound test, they'll probably sound the best out of those three for most music.
Still best to listen for yourself, though.

I would go with Infinity.
I don't mind Pioneer, decent for the price. But I would DEFINATELY NOT go with KEnwood. I tried a couple, and was not impressed at all.
