I'm a Green party member, and having looked at those three sites, I'd mention a couple of things. First, two out of three is not all! Secondly, RemainEU.org do not present an independent analysis of polling evidence to support their argument; their support for voting LD in the Eastern region is primarily on the grounds that Theresa May would view the election of Green MEPs as a vote against climate change rather than a vote for Remain, which would apparently create ambiguity in the Remain message (https://www.remaineu.org/#h.p_A6hGE_pAjysE). Finally, RemainUnited.org seem to base their recommendation for the Eastern region (confusingly described as Anglia in their tables) on an early May ComRes poll. Remainvoter.com, however, present a range of scenarios based on a range of recent polls (they don't yet include the May ComRes one) - hence they suggest that both ChangeUK and the Green Party would win seats in the Eastern region based on a 17 April YouGov poll, or that the Green Party would win the only unequivocally Remain seat based on an 11 April YouGov poll. In general ComRes seems to find less support for the Greens (5-6% in two polls) than YouGov (8-10% in five polls) since the end of March. Which is more reliable? Hard to say, especially when opinion seems so much in flux. However, YouGov's MRP model was apparently more successful at predicting the result of the 2017 general election than other polling companies.

In terms of critical policy differences, I don't know which areas are of particular interest to you, but one example springs to mind: the Greens have long been in favour of full rail renationalisation, while the Lib Dems, AFAICT, are not.
