Which Pokemon to keep and to power up?

Trying to make some decissions, before I found this site, made some mistakes probably. On this moment I have 3 pokemon that I keep powering up. Because of the good move set and a 90% IV. (I read on this site about def/off there is a difference)
I'm level 26 and have more than 150k stardust. (but trying to hold this always above 100k, previous weekend I collected 50k stardust for example)

Starmie IV 97.78 15/15/14 with water gun/Hydro pump
Exeggetur IV 95.56 15/13/15 with Zen headbutt/solar beam.
Flareon IV 91.11 15/14/12 with ember/fire blast.

This are maxed level (power ups)

I have also following, and I would likely have a second advice on them :)

Gyrados CP1834 IV 95.56 15/14/14 dragon breath/twister Gyrados CP1830 IV 93.33 15/14/13 bite/dragon pulse Rhydon CP1275 IV 95.56 15/14/14 Rock smash/earthquake Alakazam CP1026 IV 95.56 13/15/15 confussion/shadow ball Alakazam CP1012 IV 86.67 15/14/10 Confussion/Psychic Vileplume CP1487 IV 95.56 15/14/14 Acid/petal blizzard Lapras CP1736 IV 93.33 15/15/12 Frost breath/ice beam Lapras CP2021 IV 91.11 14/14/13 frost breath/dragon pulse Golem CP1596 IV93.33 14/13/15 mud shot/earthquake Nidoqueen CP1787 IV 93.33 13/15/14 - bite/earth quake Clefable CP1345 IV91.11 12/14/15 - Zen headbutt/moonblast Gengar CP1340 IV 88.89 14/14/12 - Shadow claw/shadow ball Arcanine CP1871 IV 86.67 12/14/13 - fire fang/bulldoze Vaporean CP1874 IV 73.33 15/7/11 - Water gun/hydropump Dewgong CP1261 IV 82.22 15/12/10 - frost breath/blizzard.

I was thinking of bringing Golem, Nidoqueen also to the next level with power ups? What would You do with the others?
Are there others You would power up, or doing different?

Thanks a lot for the advice :)

Well i think every one have a criteria on powering up. I made my own, i follow the order:

1_ Power up minimun level 20 pokes (unless its a rare poke).
2_ Power up minimun 80% IV pokes.
3_ Power up minimun 8.0 Rate pokes.
4_ Power up pokes that i personally like.
5_ Power up 7.9- rate pokes.

If i have a gyarados, seaking and a jolteon, all of them respecting #1 and #2, first i power up gyarados (8+ rating), if dusts left, i power up seaking (personal like), if dust left, i power up Jolteon (7.9- rating).

Pokes that are not yet level 20 but have good moves, i just save to defeat low level gyms or train.

Without a doubt worth leveling up to the max:
Lapras - FB/IB
Vaporeon - WG/HP

Worth leveling up to counter some of hardest defenders (dust won't be wasted, but don't need to take them higher until you feel it's needed):
Golem - MS/EQ (assuming that's indeed mud shot and not mud slap)
Dewgong - FB/BZ

Definitely not worth putting dust into:
Alakazam (Both)
Arcanine (Bulldoze is his worst charge and he's only good on offense. You'll want a fire charge attack)
Gengar

Everyone else I'd say level them up a bit to fill roles if needed. That's a good defensive moveset for Clefable but unfortunately it's just a 'worse Wigglytuff.' Rhydon can be fun on offense but he and Golem are very similar. Nidoqueen's typing in this game makes her only a soft counter to fairies, and with that quick move she's not good vs. fairies :(. Lapras Dragon Pulse is certainly worth keeping and using..I mean, any Lapras is good. Vileplume's the 4th best grass type, and that's not a particularly good moveset.

HTH :)

The 3 that you have already prioritized are all attackers, but not as good defenders. If I were you, I'd just go to the Gym Defenders Tier List page on this site, and prioritize leveling the top defenders you have.
