The flagail will definitely stress them out, being a large and boistrous species,
some of the carnivorous plecos may latch onto the Discus, The snowball is one of these, The other two i'm not sure on,

The others should be ok given the amount of space available, but you will need to add a minimum of 5 Discus if you want to have any success with them,
Depending on whether you purchase juvis or adults your maintenance regime may also have to increase
