Trucker makes an awesome commuter, I bought it for that reason, mostly commuting with some touring thrown in. Clubman looks to be a nice commuter but not built for touring, wheels won't take it and the front fork has no mounts for front racks. Drivetrain I leave to others, shifters, you can switch the barends to brifters on the LHT and not have to change anything else on the bike. seriously a touring bike makes a great commuter, the average commuter bike does not make a great touring bike.
