Yeah, I prefer all of these non-cognitivist views. In fact, based on your description I would consolidate them all as describing different rules for different games. Emotivist are highlighting moral intuitions within the game of fitness, Imperitavists are highlighting social norms within the games of government, and even the ten commandments aren't presented as true or false statements (murder is evil), rather they are rules within a spiritual game (don't murder).
