Given the terminals you listed above, I assume you are referring to something very specific when you say "show images properly". However, there is a lot more flexibility to use the terminal of your choice (not to mention compatibility with other programs like tmux) if you don't need pixel-perfect reproduction.
For example, I made an image browser for the terminal [0] based on Terminal Image Viewer [1] (for most image formats) and catimg [2] (for animated GIFs) that doesn't require installing a new terminal. It works great with tmux and SSH and I use it all the time for this purpose (though I didn't initially expect to find it so useful).
YMMV, but I have found that the image quality provided by TIV for example is more than sufficient for the kinds of use cases I tend to have when in a console session and needing to quickly view one or more images. Mostly that involves quickly identifying a particular image file among others in a directory, but it's so much easier to not have to leave the terminal and change contexts that it's often more convenient to reach for it for more general tasks too. Any tradeoff in quality is more than made up for in my view by the convenience of being able to use my regular terminal.
