I'm getting more into mountain biking. After using my gravel bike for the past year, I am ready to get a dedicated mountain bike. Can you help me decide?

I will be primarily riding trails local to Michigan. Below are the bikes I am most interested in. Some have upgrades, some do not. I am not sure how to rank them against each other, therefore I do not really understand the value across the different bikes. I am primarily looking for a hard tail. If I found a full suspension that I thought may be reasonable, I did add it. They are all XL frames (I am 6'4") except for one, which is a XXL. I appreciate any help and insight.

All links are Imgur galleries and a description from the seller is beneath the link.
