It appears 90% of your riding isn't loaded touring so I'd go for the Cross-Check. At the same time a lot of your riding appears to be off/rough road which makes the Troll or Ogre attractive.
The Cross-Check is a decent all purpose road bike/sport tourer/trail rider with upwards of 47mm tires. I would not load the rear wheel heavily as the frame can flex noticeably. I think of the Tubus Cargo as a sturdy platform and pannier rack but I wouldn't load it with big panniers since the bike doesn't ride well with them. If you are set on rear panniers use small ones and consider one of the very narrow racks with a larger load on front low riders or platform rack that can allow panniers to be placed closer to the fork blades and not high and forward.
regarding handling the 700c LHT, at least in 56cm, has slow handling or "wheel flop" that is objectionable to me at low speeds and not something I'd want on trails. I also find the front wheel overlap bothersome especially with fenders.
Moving the rear wheel back in the dropouts has little effect on the CC tendency for oscillation with heavy rear loads. I did discover that with medium sized rear pannier load a very narrow rack like the discontinued Axiom Streamliner DLX made for less frame oscillation than the wider Tubus Cargo.
Surprisingly the 26" LHT in 56cm is a little quicker steering than the CC but is much more tank like unloaded and a much, much better rear load carrier.
