Which is the best large cap mutual fund: FCNTX, DDFIX, MITHX, or FUSVX if you had to pick just one?

I have a new 401k provider and those are my large-cap options. My research shows no stand-out. Can one of the experts here spot one better than the other? I am 43 and I can ride out the ups and downs. The first one listed is growth, the second one is value, and the last two are blends. FCNTX is very large, but other than that there does not appear to be much difference. Experts, do you see one rising above the other three?

    I did some research on those funds @ http://www.morningstar.com/

    and I would go with DDFIX a large value fund with a 4 star rating.

    It has a $1,000,000 entry cost to those outside a 401K.

    It made a $10,00 investment grow to $24,000 over 10 years which is

    better than the rest of those funds.

    I'd take DDFIX, but I admit to a bias towards value funds. It's hard to dismiss FCNTX, even with it's size. What the heck, you can choose more than one. I'd do 80% DDFIX and 20% FCNTX. Both are good relative performers in bear markets, according to Morningstar.

    None of these are too bad. If you like index funds, choose FUSVX. Otherwise Fidelity's Contra fund. I would choose the Fidelity Spartan fund.

    FUSVX it looks like it has the lowest fees.
