You can probably find other discussions on some of these in different parts of the forum...
If you are not concerned about 4WD, then that we assume you are not going to have to worry about a lot os steep departure angles, so EB or RB should be of little concern in a used SMB. Go for one that has what you feel you want or need.
Gas Engine with high miles is not a problem if it has been well maintained.... so maintenance is the real question, and whether you can confirm the maintenance.
Bench (50) vs walk-thru (aisle) is really a hard one and there are proponents of both. You need to make that call.
