I think for this it's important to think e-bike or not. If you have a motor and you don't also have a car you can follow the "family car" approach and buy as much capacity as you might use, at least within local e-bike laws. If you are shoving it around all on muscle power you are going to want the shortest lightest thing that works... but I feel if you are not buying an e-bike you might be more likely to also already have that car.
