Of the bikes you listed I would go with the Cross Check as being the most useful and versatile. I would carefully check the dimensions then decide on whether to get a 60cm or the 62cm (I am betting on the 60cm). I am about 1/2" shorter than you with long arms and legs and typically ride a 60-62cm frame. Everyone I have talked to that has the Cross Check loves it as a general purpose bike. No it doesn't have the load capacity of the LHT, but it still can be used to haul reasonable sized loads using racks, and it is sporty enough to ride on longer distant rides.
