looks like you already done your research....

on my opinion, you cant go wrong on the 5 vehicles that you've mentioned above all of those have their strength and weaknessess...and some of them you've already pointed out....

My personal choice on the 5 that you mentioned is the Pajero...if you can get the 4M40 engine so that its not that underpowered.....It has lots of parts available and not so expensive as well.... a good off roader that will also get you anywhere as the other vehicle that you've mentioned...for me its appearance and porma is timeless...I still like its stance even though there are lot of new SUV's around already....and I think maintenace wise its much more easy to maintanin a Paj compared to the other 4...

but that's only my opinion....
