Some general advice. You did not say where you got the list of names of inspectors. Sometimes (not always) there are problems using names recommended by a realtor - both could have a vested interest in making sure a sale goes through smoothly and with no hitches.. You are best served to independently pick your inspector yourself, as you seem to be doing. Check to see if there is current termite protection on the home you plan to purchase (the agent should be able to tell you). If there is, it is sometimes best to just transfer that program to the new owner and then no inspection is required. Lastly, a relatively new law in Florida now requires that home inspectors be licensed. Most have complied but there are a few around who have not. Ask about your inspectors license before hiring him, make sure he is Florida licensed to do home inspections.
