These are all major commercial portals which provide implementation of JSR 168 and JSR 286 specification, and provide additional features like social netwokring/integrated content management/ready to use portlets . JSR168/286 is the portlet specification , just similar to our familar servlet specification.

Liferay and JBOSS also provides community editions to download freely.
You need to consider cost and features while selecting the Portal provider. We have been using Websphere portal in most of our projects. Liferay is also considerable.

Once you done with your hands on , I recommend you to go through the portlet specification (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr168/). It is a good document to start with.
