I am looking for a LQ trailer and I have found one of each of the trailers all around the same price. 1 is new two are lightly used any opinions on which one would be best? Thanks

All 3 are good trailers. I don't think the Platinum is as well made as the other 2. I especially don't like the latches on the door of the horse compartment and just don't think they are structurally as stout overall. I'm partial to Elites and they have served me well for a lot of hard miles, but you cannot go wrong with a 4 Star. I can only comment on the trailer itself, because as was stated above, the interiors can be all over the board, depending on who did the work.

Like others have said look at who did the living quarters. Also keep in mind that the trailer manufacturers might have multiple trailer lines. ie: 4Star has the Runabout and the DLX (Deluxe).
I am not saying that the Runabout is bad, just that the Deluxe has better options, stronger window hinges, etc. Just saying make sure you are comparing similar trailers amongst the different manufacturers.

Thank you the Elite is a mustang with outback conversion and is new, 4 star is Dlx with proline by outlaw 2015, platinumcoach is 2016 with outback also. I do not know much abou the conversion companies these seem quite common

The Elite Mustang is not going to be the same quality as the 4 Star DLX. It is Elite's economy version. The Outback conversions are not quite the quality as Outlaw. The 4 Star with Outlaw is top tier.
