In the past, The Oriental and the ShangRiLa both had small dinner boats running, they were fantastic, high quality and great food, but I think they have stopped now.

I went on one of those in your list in December (cannot name for the crazy defamation rules in Thailand). It was me and three Thai people. They loved it, they indulged heavily in the prawns and salmon and other foods. I found all of the food sub-par.

Overall it was good to see some of the sights along the river, the music was cringeworthy but a bit of fun, getting drinks was painful and slow, had to settle each bill as you buy etc.

For me, it was OK, glad I did it for my guests and they had a good time, but I would not go again in that format, I would pefer better food and no loud music, so I would try to find one of the small quality food cruises. But just one old man's opinion.
