I don't have any experience of the other bikes you mention but do have an XR125L which I am planning to ride from the UK to Mongolia and back on.
I have owned it for about 4 months and found it to be an excellent little bike, reliable, economical, good off road for a 125 and it has a comfortable seat which most trail bikes don't, it also has a 12 litre tank so quite a range.
As you say it is not very powerful and more expensive than the others but would be suitable for your purposes, I would say worth considering.
