What's the general opinion on these brands/models?:

The Shimano Deore:


I understand that the Surly LHT comes with an Andel crankset, so this is a top contender, my bike is the just released Straggler:

RSC-6-


Sugino was mentioned to me, but I have no idea how to spec it or where to go about getting one:

Any others I should consider? I was considering an FSA Afterburner, but I haven't heard much about them

Thanks...
Go with the Shimano. Dead simple to install. I would swap the inner ring to a 22 or, if you want bragging points, a 20 (which you can find on Fleabay).
