Nice. I would personally recommend Eigen, which we are now using in a major production project. It has a very nice C++ interface, and makes effective use of expression templates. Here is performance comparison of a few of the libraries listed, as well as some non-free ones, versus Eigen:

Numpy.

Also, you can install a monolithic Python distro from Enthought (EPD). If you are an academic, you can get the full distro for free, which links Numpy and Scipy against Intel MKL for a big performance boost.
