Anyone familiar and if so what are the differences (quality-wise and price-wise) b/w 2 and 3??

There is no Adidas replica. As far as I know, there are two styles you can buy in retail: Adidas "Authentic" and Fanatic Breakaway.
I believe the "Authentic" jersey is not the actual on-ice jerseys the players wear. For one thing, the Authentics are made in Indonesia, where I believe the on-ice jerseys are still made in Canada. I am not sure what differences you would be able to notice if you had the two side-by-side though.
I don't believe you can buy the true on-ice jerseys anywhere right now, but that will probably change over time.
