I chose to...... 2- With regard to the reason of opting for ..... 3- In regards why I narrowed my choice down to ..... are there other ways to express it ? Thank you

Your suggestion 3 is not good English. You could try things along the lines of: I chose (to do) X because ... Whilst it may not be immediately obvious why I chose X, the reason is quite simple ... Presented with a choice between X and Y, I opted for X for the simple reason that ... By the way, it should be "the reason FOR choosing something", not "the reason OF choosing something"
