As a general rule the more "race worthy" a cyclocross bike is the less capable of being used for utility purposes it will be. But that's not really a big deal. People do CX races on everything from full suspension mountain bikes to touring bikes. You won't see the winner of the elite race on a utility-oriented CX bike, but in the lower ranks just having a cyclocross bike will put you in a good position to do your best. Any of the bikes you've mentioned would be fine for trying out CX racing.
