The Deere machine will probably be my choice but am not ruling out the others. I had a water truck of mine on the Enbridge pipeline a few years back and one thing I noticed about all the big pipeline companies is that majority of the equipment is Caterpillar except the hoes, the equipment that does the finesse work is Deere. Most outfits have gone to Deere excavators.
Would love to here some more first hand experience with some different machines.

If you dont like Cat, check out ASV , I heard Terex bought out ASV, I believe their under carriage is superior to any others.
