Choices
If you find a twin vibey .. then a single will be like a jack hammer. Yes some are better than others, but in general they vibrate .. more than a twin. The smoothest engine is the triple, fours vibrate more than a triple .. but less than a twin.
One of the main factors for dirt work is weight. If your carrying a lot of luggage then the difference in the actual bike weight does not matter so much as you'll have your luggage weight on top of that .. say 40~50kg.
If you have the time then the secondary roads are better for sightseeing as you'll be going slower.

Assumptions
UK based?
Not a lot of experience?
Some other considerations ..
Do the bikes have 'good' luggage mounting possibilities/availabilities?
Insurance costs for each? (that will also give you an idea of repair costs and theft rate)
Service intervals? You don't want them too frequent.
Oh - yes and  to the hubb..
