Picross is the BEST puzzle game for the DS.
So damn addicting, I always tell myself 'just one more picture' and then another hour has gone by.

Depends what you're looking for in a puzzle game.
It's already been said but anything on your list is quality, just a matter of which style of gameplay will suit you best.
I've played Meteos, Puzzle Quest, and of course Tetris (...on Gameboy...), and would recommend Meteos if you want a more frantic puzzle game. Very well done but I prefer games like Tetris or Lumines... they're a bit more relaxing if that makes any sense.
Puzzle Quest is awesome just because of all the other stuff it has on top of being a pretty fun puzzle game to begin with. Highly addictive.
I should try Picross.

Tetris is fantastic online. I'm sure PPL is too if you get good at it but for me...Tetris is probably the best Nintendo online game, Wii or DS. I'd pick it just for that.
Like the hat?

This is how I would rank them:
1. Planet Puzzle League (Wifi plus voice chat)
2. Tetris DS (wifi)
3. Picross DS (dlc)
Also Circuit City will be having a "Buy One, Get One ½ Off on ALL Handheld Games" sale starting on Sunday (9/9 - 9/15). So you should pick up two DS puzzle games!

listen to the mad man
I own almost every puzzle game on the DS. Gunpey, Konductra, and Trioncube are pretty much the only not-obviously-shitty DS puzzle games that I wouldn't recommend.
QuickSpot, while obviously a B-grade puzzler, is surprisingly underappreciated.
If I had to pick one game from that list, I'd pick Picross.

I would recommend Picross DS from your original list.
I also highly recommend getting The New York Times Crosswords.

i'd go with picross and tetris. i thought meteos was a little underwhelming
DS is the best puzzle platform since the PC. There's a new puzzler out called "Prism: Light the Way" that looks like it has a lot of potential. You have to get a beam of laser light to multiple targets by using mirrors, splitters, etc. It's a clone of an old PC game, but it was one of my favorite PC games.
PS: Polarium is good and very cheap, but there's not much in it. Pick up the GBA sequel (yeah, weird, I know) - it's huge, great, and also cheap.

It's a DS port of the touch screen games found out at the bars.

What the fuck is this Picross game?
Meteos was pretty underwhelming.
Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League are really the best choices. But I think PPL is a bit broken online and it doesn't even have as many online features as Tetris DS, which is probably the best online DS game. God, it's so fucking awesome. Maybe because I kick ass at it. The infinite spin doesn't really exist online. And if you need it, you suck anyway. I just abused it in single-player and got the highest score possible. I beat Tetris DS.

Enjoy.
I have all of them except PPL (yeah, yeah, I'll get it), but I've put far more time into Puzzle Quest than anything else. It's like some strange compulsion to beat it with all the character classes. Even though it nearly breaks itsself as you gain power and levels, it's just a great bejeweled twist.

Can you play it online competitively?
At this point, I've found I won't get addicted to a puzzler unless I can play it against people. At the moment, I'm hopelessly addicted to Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. And I rock at that too, even though I had never played it before.
Edit: Actually, maybe I will pick this up. It'll be my first DS purchase since PPL.
