I think you got the answer already, I too would suggest 720. I had 720 in the past and it is nothing less than impressive.
It checks all your boxes
1. Privacy - WP is considered the best (if you are that considerate about others accessing your data I suggest don't save that kind of data on your SD card, it beats the point of having encryption or lock on your phone.. save that in phone memory)
2. Speed - You will never want to go back to Android after using this baby
3. Screen - Brilliant, even though the resolution is 'low' you never feel it
4. Battery life - Very Impressive. With moderate to heavy usage I used to get one and half day consistently. You will never regret in this aspect
5. Camera - One of the best, period. You get beautiful photographs, look around the blogs for pics shot in 720 to get an idea.
This phone is a gem, I would say one the best phones in Lumia series. I currently own a 1020 and I had no compelling reason to switch, just that I got a good deal on 1020. The only weaker point is 512 MB of RAM, but this would not be a deal breaker unless you are too inclined towards heavy games. Do keep in mind that WP app store is not as brimmed with apps as Android, you do have almost all the essential apps and well its still growing.
Not impressed by 630, I haven't used it but frankly I don't like it from what I have read, it feels like a downgrade. Not a big fan of the Galaxy Mini series, they always look sub-standard when compared to the flagships they are based on, sorry cant help with regards to S4 mini.
