Kung mataas ang fuel efficiency sa choices mo, I'd say go for the Pajero kung pasok sa budget mo. Hindi mo din naman puwedeng hatawin safely yang mga iyan and should you insist, hindi naman ganun kahirap pabilisin yan. Parang may issue sa makina ng trooper eh -- not sure lang kung kasama yung model choice mo. And you ruled out the Safari based on fuel consumption. I think that'll rule out the Gen 1 CRV as well.
