I am going to assume you have plenty of prior snake experience and know what you are getting into, and will spare you my normal lecture for people wanting large constrictors. ;)

Of those species; Burmese tend to be (by far) the tamest. Dwarf Retics would probably be the second best; but be sure to purchase from a reputable breeder who can give documentation or at the very least pictures of the parents. There are a Lot of people starving Reticulated pythons and selling them as dwarfs. That just makes for a hungry; aggressive, unhealthy snake, and if you do go for a dwarf; do careful research to make sure you don't end up with one of those poor animals.

Reticulated pythons come in third on the least aggression scale. They are often prone to having a nasty temperament; but some will tame down with very regular, confident, careful handling.

Anacondas come in last place, which makes them the most likely to be aggressive and bite. I have met exactly one 'tame' Anaconda, in contrast to the dozen or more friendly Retics that I have come across. Even worse, a lot of the Anacondas I've seen have a side bite in a slashing motion rather than attacking their prey head-on, and so getting a bite from these guys can be particularly nasty. One of the keepers at a reptile rescue I used to volunteer at had to have major stitch-work done in the hospital after he got careless with one of the more snap-happy Anacondas that was being housed there. A tip; Yellow Anacondas are smaller, more manageable, and seem to be a bit more likely to settle down with regular handling.

Here are care sheets for all of the aforementioned species:

I hope this helps; if you have any further questions at all on the subject; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

Good luck!

EDIT: The Columbian Red tails definitely come in number one on the best tempered scale; they are absolute dolls when regularly handled. I've owned five of them. I am glad you added them to your list. :)
Here is a care sheet on Red tails; as well.
