From what you listed, the Ogre would be my pick for the riding you say you’ll be doing.

If you go the suspended mountain bike route, I would sway towards Trek/Giant/Merida and definitely go for a fork with a lockout. But really, suspension sounds like overkill for what you’re doing. But those 3 brands offer some of the best bang for buck on the market so check out what they have to offer.

The Troll I would flat out ditch because it’s a 26er. The Krampus is a more serious MTB than you need. The Honzo is definitely out as it’s one of a newer breed of more serious MTB designed for riding where a full suspension bike could easily be used
