I think you mean #5, and while I've had good (limited) experience with Sublime, but one of my other favorite tools (SourceTree) is absolutely horrendous on Windows. Just a single data point.

I had the opposite experience with SourceTree going from Windows to OSx. The lack of tabs on the OSx version is horrible.

I don't really care for the tabs actually, haha. I was surprised they made that choice when I first used it on there, after getting used to OSX.

But the UI aside, the problem I was having is that it would just entirely hang the app if you had a large number of changed files or large diffs. This was about three months ago, so it's possible the performance problems have been fixed.

Unfortunately, SourceTree is still horrible on Windows. I've written them couple of times, but no feedback. Guess Atlassian doesn't care.

Haven't found a good alternative on Windows for a Git GUI tool that comes with Git-Flow.
