Cyclone V will support (boot from) any of these devices - providing they meet timing. All the options you list will. You can program them with the Quartus programmer, either directly (see figure 7-15 in the
cyclone v handbook (
https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_5v2.pdf)) or indirectly via JTAG (see figure 7-13 in the Cyclone V Handbook) using a .jic file. Altera's EPCQ parts are expensive by comparison. However, they are 'simply a QSPI Flash'.
The 'only' issue you may come across is programming them from the Nios2 flash programmer. However, there is a work around for this too. If you're not looking to boot a Nios from your SPI FLASH then this is not an issue.
Cheers,

Actually I'm looking to boot NIOS II from my SPI Flash. How can you make it work ?
