I would advise you to take some time and go try all those brands your feel more inclined to choose.
Get a fell for the driving position, controls, visibility, etc. Looks on how the tractor is made. If it's robust or a bit flimsy. Check for ease of maintenance, like dipstick, filter locations, etc.
Then you can compare all the brands you tried and get your final decision.
Brand wise, I can only speak about Branson, although I've compared against other brands, but we got different models on all the brands you listed here in Europe.
Branson is really simple tractor, no electronics to give headaches, very very solid tractor, steel fenders and hood, not flimsy plastic. Of course the engine is pretty much a Cummins made under Cummins license. It's an heavy tractor which makes for a very nice stability. All those optional features on other brands, come standard on Branson tractors, like telescopic stabilizers, 2 speed PTO and so on.
If the DPF will ever give any problems, it's as simple as removing guts inside the canister or get a muffler in it's place and take the data logger of the tractor and you're good to go.
