So many choices!

OK to narrow your choices, first what are you towing the trailer with? What are its limits?
The tow capacity of the truck may eliminate a few .
You mentioned bunks, kids? How many, how old, and how likely to outgrow short single bunks? That may eliminate a few more.
Now, to budget, are you looking at bargain basement entry level, mid grade or for upper end? Understand, appliances and equipment will be similar across lines, but fit, finish, and construction do vary greatly, from stick and tin, to metal framing with filon or smooth glass exteriors as well as the variances in cabinets and furnishings. Look at cabinets, particle board with a shelf paper type covering is the cheapest and will age fastest , plywood frames and dovetailed drawer joints are better, hardwood is the best. Likewise, better units SHOULD have screwed and glued wood joints, cheaper units will be stapled. Make your decision after deciding on some of these conditions and then visit an RV show if possible to look at several brands in one visit.
Happy hunting

edit add, brands will be basically a Ford vs Chevy type issue with a couple of caveats, look at warranty length, most offer one year, some offer two and even more. Also as a very general statement, owners seem to have the aforementioned brand loyalties but Grand Design, K-Z, Winnebago , and Jayco seem to have happier owners based on manufacturer backing.
OK, now i've riled some of the fan boys, have at it.

F250 7.3L so most travel trailers I don't think will be an issue.
Kids aged 6, 10, 13
Budget likely looking mid range although if moving from mid to high is within a couple thousand I would strongly consider the better / higher grade option.

The lighter weight trailers often give up structural integrity and amenities to save on weight for people with marginal tow vehicles.
Will you be dry camping much? Some of the trailers you're looking at may have very small tanks compared to other models. I like to be able to camp anywhere I come across with or without hookups so I tend to favor models with larger fresh, gray, black, and even propane tanks. If You intend to only stay in campgrounds with water and electric hook ups it won't matter.
Same goes for batteries. If you'll always be plugged in you only need one small, cheap battery. If you will be camping without electric look for trailers that have room for 2 or more batteries and maybe a solar option.
Personally, I'd put Jayco above many of the other brands you listed. But, they changed hands a few years ago and I don't know if their new owners are living up to their past reputation.

What type of camping do you envision? If dry/boondocking, you need to compare fresh and waste water capacities.
