GlassWire, EMET and AppLocker are new to me but they sound promissing!

Why do you prefer Avira? I find hard to compare since the reviews are usually personal experiences without any real data, and since they are usually closed source it's even harder.

Avira is usually among the top for free antiviruses and Microsoft's antivirus is last. For some reason I can't find the links anymore right now but I saw it on a recent AV comparison chart.
