Which loans company is best out of these?

Hi, I've been thinking about getting a new car for some time now and am going to finance it with a loan. I've done a soft search on gocompare.com and have an 80% approval chance with M&S, Cahoot and Santander. Out of the 3, which would you say is best? I've read online that M&S tend to offer 6%+ rather than their advertised 3.3%.
However, when I've looked on the MSE loans soft search tool, I've only got a 6/10 chance of getting a Cahoot loan... I know they'se tools are only a guide, but it's quite contradictory.
My partner and I have a mortgage and with The MSE loans tool, it asked what my mortgage repayments is, but I don't actually pay the mortgage, my partner does (I am named on the mortgage). I understand that if my partner lost his job I would have to pay the mortgage, but as soon as they request bank statements they'll see I don't actually pay the mortgage.
Any thoughts on which lender is best?

It depends on which one offers the best rates and whose criteria you best match.
All lenders will offer their headline rate to 51% (or more) of accepted applicants, M&S included.0
