I strongly suggest sticking with Notepad++. The only other editor I would condone using is Dreamweaver, because out of all editors I’ve seen, it’s the closest to being an industry standard. Not like it really matters, there really isn’t an adopted program for web editing across many companies, unlike with Photoshop which pretty much is an industry standard. There is simply no advantage provided by any of the editors you recommend. If you want to be an HTML master, you need to know the markups and their attributes very intimately, and using an editor will remove part of this. I’ve never used Homesite, but I just looked into it now. I can’t see why anyone would use it. It seems to be an in-between of Notepad++ and Dreamweaver. I’m assuming it comes with a code auto completion function, but this is exactly what you want to avoid if you truly want to become an HTML master. I would never purchase any HTML editor that wasn’t Dreamweaver, and Dreamweaver is way overkill for newbies (as well, it sprinkles its own code around your document). I believe a good reference book (or even better, reference website) for looking up tags and attributes, and a simple code editor like Notepad++, is all you need as a rookie.
