The most power for the money (aka value) is the iMac. I'd suggest picking whatever specs work best fore and if ordering from Apple getting the RAM upgraded to the max.
However, another consideration, and one for me that is primary given my visual issues (nystagmus from the vertigo) is the retina display. That iMac is pricy, though I'm not sure how it compares with the MacBook Pros with retina. I don't need a large screen and I write in Scrivener, so power is not my primary concern. The retina display makes a huge difference for me when looking at the screen for more than a few moments. With it, I can write for hours. Without it, I last about 15 minutes (though that was before my current MBP, which is 18 mo. old).
