Soft & sometimes soggy ground
Aside from a full blown concrete pad, what are my options to keep a 8-9k pound tt from sinking into the ground?

As you've read, there are many different, but similar solutions.
Whether you want to lower the ground pressure of the rig, which is what you asked, or stabilize the soil/construct a parking pad.
Assuming the 5 pads you're considering are seeing about 2klbs a piece, with a 2'x2' pad, you'll be lowering the effective ground pressure to less than 5psi, which will work in most conditions short of liquefied earth.
