The 18-200 is a good walk-around lens. The 70-200 is in a different class. The VRII is a fine lens and performs very well in terms of IQ and AF. The newest 70-200 is amazing in IQ. Truly amazing.
I can't comment on the 28-300, but you have to figure out what you need. That would be the FX version of the DX 18-200, and likely a fine walk-around lens.
You'll find that, if you need the short end of the lens, that 70-200 won't make you happy. You'll want two lenses in that case. But a D750 and the 28-300 might be everything you require and make you quite happy.... if you can define "happiness."

Yes. And the even newer one is worth its price. Truly amazing.
You should be able to find a used VRII in very good condition for about $1200.
