I want to show specific data from specific columns in Multiple SPS 2013 List. Based on my research so far, the option to build it revolves around:
a) CQWP b) CSWP c) DVWP (Data Vew Webpart)
Looking for community suggestion, to understand which one is better while trying to achieve:
Any suggestion will be deeply appreciated.

I would like to add one line that this question seems to be Opinion based. So in my opinion if I have to work with the given requirement I will definitely go with CSWP. Because this covers all the above requirement specified.
Because configuring search queries is quite easy job and take less efforts. For me this link had a great way to guide CSWP.
Want to add some more reflection.
If the functionality you are creating needs fully up-to-date results (e.g. a user has created/edited something and it needs to be immediately reflected in the site) then you will probably need to stick with the original approaches (i.e. a query-based rather than search-based solution).
I do suggest to go with CSWP. The reason is it is very flexible and easy to use, but also very complex and can be customized to do amazing stuff. I know you mentioned that you dont want that much dev time, so I would say invest some time to understand the basics and it has a basic mode where you can just build the query based on drop downs and you don't need that much dev experience. I am sure if you search for resources, you will find plenty, but I always recommend this article as a starting point!
