Hi Narges,
I recommend to have a look at the following article for comparison of
different methods and for other secondary structure assignment methods that
you have not listed:
*Zhang W, Dunker AK, Zhou Y.**Assessing secondary structure assignment of
protein structures by using pairwise sequence-alignment benchmarks, *
Proteins. 2008 Apr;71(1):61-7.
Different methods would  success and fail at different cases, I would build
the model by incorporating multiple method's assignments.
Hope that helps,
Oznur Tastan
