Given that the two phenomenological Thomists you mention - Stein and Wojtyla - are canonised Saints, while the names on the other lists carry no Saints, my personal inclination is to favour that "school". Of course I'm hoping the neo-Thomistic movement may gain it's first Saint through your own life.

Ahahah I’m afraid that I’ll eventually claim that they are Thomists on a rather loose sense 😂

If this serves as a consolation, none of them was canonised by their intellectual achievements. And there are far more canonised, say, supporters of the Franciscan school, than there are of Phenomenological Thomism.

There are also several “Phenomenological Thomists” which are not canonised, and a couple of canonised Scholastic Thomists, and many more which died with fame of holiness.
