I voted for EMR because of the 4% yield it's sporting right now. Troubles in fx and the oil patch are haunting it but for the long haul it should provide a nice revenue stream.
I would have also voted for VTR and CMP.
VTR because of their healthcare play. I'm not totally familiar with VTR since I already have OHI in my portfolio and HCP in my wife's and right now we're busy shoring up what we have rather than adding new positions in REITs. Have also been thinking about HCN in the healthcare field when we get around to adding.
CMP I added to my portfolio a couple weeks ago when it was around 71.5. I've mentioned it here and wrote an article about it on SA a while ago and, although I haven't updated either, I've kept track of the company. It's a commodity company with shades of proprietary products so it will face headwinds due to commodities in general, winter weather and the ag slump not to mention foreign exchange issues. I'll add some more on any big swoons in price but, if you're looking at it, be prepared to hold it long-term and ride out the occasional volatility. With a 3.5% yield, I'll be patient.
The other 3 I didn't know anything about so I ignored them.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
