I know almost nothing about the subject, but I can tell you my experience.
I have a 5-1/2 foot L&S with manual scarifiers. I was VERY nervous about buying it because I only have a JD 750 Compact to run it with, and I was scared it would be too much blade for the tractor.
I went ahead and bought it because the price was right.
To my amazement, the little JD handles it like a champ. A 750 has 18-20 PTO HP and weighs around 1800 pounds. I'd be in trouble without the MFWD, but I can put the scarifiers all the way down and walk right off with it in my gravel driveway. It's the first thing I've tried in 25 years of trying to keep potholes out of my drive that actually works.
Haven't tried it in clay or loam yet, but do have a couple of projects in that area a little further down the Honey-Do list.
Based on my experience, any of the tractors you list should handle a 6 or 7 footer no problem.
As to brand, the only one I've ever looked at closely is the L&S I wound up buying. As in any purchase, look at the weight of the materials used, bracing and welds.
