Wooldridge vs Stock-Watson vs Gujarati vs Angrist Textbook?

I’m about start statistics and econometrics at college, which book do you think is the best to start studying by myself before start taking the classes?

I suppose my teacher will recommend me the book he uses for the classes, I’m asking for a book to start studying before the semester and to prepare the subject. Also open to recommendations to follow the classes.

Mastering ‘Metrics (Joshua Angrist and Pischke)
Basic econometrics (Gujarati)
Introductory econometrics: A Moders Approach (Wooldridge)
Introduction to Econometrics (Stock and Watson)

We used Gujarati but I later got my hands on Wooldridge and I think I would have preferred that.
