Welcome! And yeah the plethora of RVs out there makes it tough to compare apples to apples especially until one has been searching for a while and develops a feel for what they want and what mfgs seem better.
No one can give you specific advice as we don’t know your preferences and non of us can analyze the condition of said RVs.
So a few basic things.
Don’t get a Ford unless it’s a V10. The 5.4 is a dog.
Don’t get a Chevy 6.0 (basically only engine offered in your vintages) if you’re towing heavy, or at least know the 6.8 Ford has more power. But I’d take a 6.0 in general = to a ford.
Once you’ve found what you “like” for size and amenities, the rest is not different than buying a house and a car. 90% of what makes up a good used rig is its condition and how well it was maintained. And to determine that, use any means available to you.
Good luck!
