The problem is that
they all eat from a communal bowl.

Until recently, we had the same situation, which was no problem. The
cats and dog, Sandy, (who *loves* to snitch kitty food) are all
indoors. Now all are on diets of their own -- Speckles has a special
diet for her failing kidneys, Hobo gets special foods for his
diabetes, and Sandy has come up with a high liver-enzyme problem,
requiring still another diet. Now mostly wet foods, some dry. It's a
daily juggling match, keeping each from digging into the others'.
Best bet so far is feeding them in different rooms, putting each bowl
up out of reach when they're finished.

I have no advice on what brands you should get, especially since your
kitties are different ages (ours are all teens), but hope you find a
suitable solution soonest.
