Looking for a grinder to accompany an impending La Pavoni lever espresso machine.

These are all used machines, so I know they might have some wear & tear issues which I'd have to find out about before purchasing. Please have a look at these listings and give me your thoughts:

The first is a La Pavoni grinder for 180 Euros (plus VAT):

The second and third are listed in this ad ... One is an Elektra for €245, and the other is a Mazzer Lugi, also at €245:

One of these is listed for sale locally, which is a bonus considering shipping costs, etc. What are your thoughts on this grinder?

The Mazzer Luigi seems good if it's a Super Jolly, which is the actual model. It depends on the condition and you'll want to at least replace the burrs. The site you pointed to seems to sell a Super Jolly for 350 Euros, not 245, which is a bit steep for a used one.

Okay ... between these two and for the same money, which grinder would you choose?

Rossi RR45A

or ...

Compak K6

Probably the best thing is check the write-ups using the search function on this site rather than show moving targets here and wait for a response. You just want something that's really good that you can afford, right? Although it's a different direction than your search I'm glad to have an Orphan Espresso Pharos to have a gold standard grinder to work with for my few espressos at home. It's got its ergonomic challenges but I manage fine with it especially after doing the voodoodaddy mods. A Super Jolly works great when I'm pulling multiple shots and it's pretty close to the Pharos.

Does the Pharos still have to be emptied through the plug in the bottom? I find that unacceptable.

Well, then, your search is still on. I managed with the plug in the bottom for a year. It worked for me. My main point was not about the Pharos, though. There's lots of information on the site. Please search others' write-ups when you've got a used grinder in your sights.
