Woodleigh and A Frames are fine. Can't comment on others as haven't tested them.

Re "How about Woodleigh softs on shoulders and going away lengthwise shots? Not recommended but I am curious as to their effectiveness and performance."

In general fine - however you need to take into account a whole range of factors - Bullet Poiint Shape - Round nose or Protected Point, SD's, Velocity, what it hits on entry, weight of bullet, what the bullet hits on entry and as going through etc etc.
All have a big bearing on how much it expands and this to an extent on how far it will penetrate.
I have never had a problem.
