Cons:
Vids might have spoilers.
FFXII has the most boring gameplay style imo. I didn't like the concept of gambits either. The main character is a effeminate, useless person who has no part in the story. The story itself isn't very memorable and full of crap like this:

In FFX, the main character is more memorable but he's as stupid as Vaan from FFXII. I found this story to be far more enjoyable and satisfying, although it might be a little easy save for a few bosses (including this one boss where you gotta watch like 10mins of cutscene if you die f3, you gotta keep your party in Zombie status the whole time). Some cutscenes were also embarrassing to watch, although not nearly as bad as FFXII.

FFX-2 is totally different from FFX, and not as good as FFX. However, it is more of a feel-good game that does have some difficult parts. Getting to 95%+ in this game is very difficult, and all you get for it is a pro "class" and a very touching cutscene. It did take me 200+ hours to achieve though, and 30+ save slots in case I messed up somewhere... and at least two play-throughs are needed.
Pros:
FFXII has many hours of gameplay, and graphics are some of the best you'll ever find for a PS2 generation game. Interesting characters, places to travel to, and Balthier. Good game for lazy people with the gambit system. Imagine the Auto Pots in Maple, but instead of just potting gambits do everything for you.
FFX has one of the saddest stories, but it's a very captivating game. Very colourful, romance, challenges and very interesting and memorable characters. I recommend that you get FFX ~ International though. Extra content, a new "leveling system", and a very difficult metagame boss. Took me like 2 hours to beat, not to mention that it's just as difficult to be able to fight him.
FFX-2 is a feel good game. Definitely the opposite of FFX where most things are positive, and you're free to do whatever you want really. Although you'll miss out on a lot of things if you don't. It's a good followup if you're interested in the aftermath of the events from FFX.
Or play FFXIII, lots of eye candy and Vanille (not her voice). It's very linear like FFX but FFX is the superior game and the best game out of the choices you provided.
My personal ranking: FFX -> FFX-2 -> FFXII
