All good bikes
I don't think the PCX is up to the build quality of the others but it is cheaper.
The Yamaha is well made, I found it a bit small in the flesh
Suzuki has good mechanicals
S Wing every time as far as I'm concerned, pure luxury, maybe not the top in street cred. It does look like more than a 125 though.

If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.

Re: first time rider
Yes, FES is the Honda code for the S Wing but be careful, there is an earlier FES called the Pantheon, forerunner of the S-Wing.
The S-Wing is very nippy and has a good top speed unlike the PCX which is restricted
