If I was looking for a daily commuter and weekender bike and facing budget limitations, my main requirement for any of the bikes you mentioned would be for it to have, at a minimum, mechanical disc brakes. Any of the components that come with these bikes will serve you for many years. I have bikes with component levels ranging from Tourney to Ultegra and they all work just fine. Riding comfort to a great extent can be improved with saddle and tire choices. I would look for a bike that can be ridden safely in all types of weather hence the disc brake requirement.
If it were me, I would want to be riding as soon as and as affordable as I could. These are just my personal opinions and others may beg to differ. Ultimately you must choose what is best for you.
