DG will be good handling, terrific visibility, and performance at bargain price, from what I see. You pay a real premium for an LS1f as compared to an LS1c or d. Are they really twice as good? Std Cirrus is a good deal on price and performance. Std Libelle seems to be climbing in price, maybe because of Club Class capability (handicap lower than performance is, so it is "competitive"?)? ASW19 is the heaviest of the bunch, but it is a Schleicher with terrific handling and attention to detail for the period.

Buy a good plane in a very good trailer!

Good luck!
