Maria Alm, Schladming, or St. Johann im Pongau

We will be travelling to Austria in October, landing in Munich and then making our way to the mountains. While there we would like to do a mix of hiking and sightseeing and are considering possible day trips to Salzburg, Hallstatt, Kitsbuhel, or Innsbruck. Sightseeing interests would include historic castles, European medieval towns, and world cup skiing venues. Our home base would ideally have a good mix of things to do in town (restaurants, etc.) and (relatively) easy access to the day trips mentioned. For those who have spent time in the Austrian Alps, would you suggest staying in Maria Alm, St. Johann in Pongau, or Scladming? (Long story short, we need to decide between one of these three towns!) Thanks for any help you can provide!
