I don't have either the Bologan book or DVD, but generally I find that he explains concepts quite well which is very useful for me. I do have the Jones book and the Kornev book and they are both quite good. I would say that the Kornev book goes into more depth than Jones which seems unnecessary at times.
Apart from the resources you mentioned, the new series from Van Kampen is probably worth considering as well. I don't have it (yet) but I learned a lot from his previous series on the KID.

I have been considering:

How to Beat the Sicilian Defence by Gawain Jones (2011)


Gawain's book was more about playing 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 with ideas of following up with f4 and an assault on the King-side in the manner of the Grand Prix Attack.

There's at least one assuming trick.

In the line 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nd4 4. Bc4 e6 5. Nge2 Nf6 6. O-O a6 7. d3 then 7. .. d5 doesn't work because of 8. exd5 exd5 9. Nxd5 Nxd5 10. Nxd4 cxd4 11. Qh5 where 11. .. Be6 can be met by 12. Re1




Those who play the Sicilian now know it and play 7. .. b5 instead.

I have been considering:

The Sicilian Rossolimo for White (DVD) by Victor Bologan (2010)
The Rossolimo Sicilian by Victor Bologan (2011)
How to Beat the Sicilian Defence by Gawain Jones (2011)
Rossolimo and Friends by Alexei Kornev (2015)


Are the first 3 out of date now and would it be best to dive in just with Kornev?
  
Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations
