I would pick Poland out of these because of human capital, property rights, rule of law(*), etc.
{*} Yes, I understand the EU is accusing Poland of not respecting rule of law because Poland asserts that Polish laws take priority over EU laws when there is a conflict. That's a pis*ing competition about globalism versus nationalism and not about rule of law per se.
We have quite a few folks in Poland (and not in the others). I think you're soft-peddling the potential future issues with rising Polish nationalist politics rather a bit, but so far it's worked well for us for the reasons you state.
Why only those options? I know if two growing startups doing Czech. I'm not a big fan of more than 40 hours a week, but if you want people who want to do that, Czech is your place.
I deal from time to time with people from Poland: some do really want to be helpful + are extremely competent + take over ownership/responsibility, others are the opposite => up to your HR department & you to identify the right people. In general they love to talk and are likeable people, many have a drive to really deliver stuff :)
No idea about Romania & Belarus - I would be careful as as much as I know they aren't hosting competence centers for any major company (but I might be wrong).
Personally I would especially take into consideration as well the Czech Republic, but that's just my personal opinion.
