Check out pelletheads.com they have reviews of all your listed smokers. You might find some second hand traegers around but I think you have all available manufacturers covered.
I have a Daniel Boone and am well pleased with it. Does all I want and is big enough for most meats. The JB is the same tech just a bigger grill area. I have no experience of the country smoker just that they seem more expensive and the Davy Crockett definitely looks interesting but I think it will cost a lot more than the $379 in the US. So I would recommend the DB or JB, you should get a cover thrown in. If you want the bling then for the extra you could add the stainless lid and remote. I went with the normal one with not issues at all. The GMG pellets are good value and are an all round good pellet.

If it was my money and i was looking for a pellet grill. Based on what's available in the UK i would get a GMG Daniel Boone and then use the left over cash to get loads of accessories for it, like the thermal jacket and grill grates.

I own a Traeger, have used a GMG & seen a Louisiana Grills close up and i think the GMG offers good value for money.

I've had a Traeger and a GMG and the GMG is the best by a long way. GMG is about your only choice in the UK anyway. I'd love a Yoda but it would be a nightmare getting it to run on UK voltage and also replacement parts could be fun getting hold of.
