My vote is for Trucker, I've had two and they are solid, reliable, well made touring bikes. The Marrakesh should be fine too, but I don't like the superfluous swinging dropout and the fact that it forces you to use Salsa's special short-height Alternator rack. I recommend Marrakesh IF you plan on singlespeed or IGH, otherwise get the DT. I commend the OP on their intelligent choice of 26" wheels over the trendy 700c.
