To the OP I'm not sure how long it takes for you to make a decision but it sounds like paralysis by analysis. You could ask 1000 questions and get 100,000 different replies. A simpler process would be budget > fit > warranty and/or crash replacement program > LBD support. Since, this is the first bike, just get something that can be ridden hard without any worries.
Almost every bike/component will break at some point or another so get something reputable and decent health insurance lol!
