Measure how close each magnet can get to a metal object before picking it up.

Reason: The magnet that can attract and lift the metal from a greater distance has a stronger magnetic field and can do more work (store more magnetic energy). Mass or water displacement don't tell you magnetic strength, and magnets don't produce DC currents you can measure with wires.
