Hi! It is my first time doing a home lab and I am a bit stuck between three options for hardware.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M715Q Tiny Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE 3,2 GHz - SSD 256 GB RAM 8 GB
Lenovo ThinkCentre M720Q Tiny Core i3-8100T 3.1 GHz - SSD 120 GB RAM 8 GB
Dell OptiPlex 7050 Micro Core i5-7500T 2,7 GHz - SSD 256 GB RAM 8 GB

I will run TruenasOS to start the journey. And the price is pretty much the same for all systems.

What should i get?
Best regards

The Ryzen CPU is the best in terms of raw performance. Not by a ton, but it does perform better. I also don't think those Intel CPUs support quick sync so no reason to even consider them really.

The Ryzen also boosts, while the Intel ones don't.
