EN Ramsden is a bit too advanced, but I'd recommend it for Organic Chem. It goes deep into the details.
Rest, the best is AS & A level Chemistry by Brian Ratclliffe =]
But everyone has their own opinion though. Wait for what others suggest.

If your teacher gives you good concepts then (Norris, R.ryan) book is good for you because it do not go in deep details.
And if you want to do self study and do not follow any specific tutor then i will recommend
A Level Chemistry by M.Ayub (not in your book list)....It has 2 parts Book 1 for AS and Book 2 for A2...
If you buy this one then be sure that you get latest edition...
