You've named a lot of great boats, but most are literally new models with very few out and very little time spent running through their issues. Like a new model year car, but with boat industry investment in engineering. With that said, I have been on the water on pretty much all these, except the Pavati. I like them, I like the concept, except every time I look at them all I can think about is all those sharp angles are not ergonomic and I know I for one would be be banging myself into them.
For wakesurfing and overall boating use I would rank the top 3 as follows: Just my opinion, not trying to start a brand war, I have no skin in this game....
Tige RZX (the Tige gets the vote over the G23 for maneuverability, form of the wave, and ease of use)
Nautique G23 (Really nice stitching......., bit of a beast with a poor turning radius, wave is strong with good lift/push, but has a very broken lip and poorer overall form than some of the others listed)
Malibu M235 (Hard to comment on this boat, it has been through a great deal of changes during development and launch, but in the end it is a very solid big boat with a very good wave and well designed and aesthetic finishes, I was impressed, and that got it in the top 3)
The most important thing you can do is find a dealer or two in your area you feel good about. Your boat is going to need service, some more than others......
Go out a test drive as many as you can, get a feel for the dealer and their employees. Believe it or not, who they send you out on the boat with is very important. You will either get someone knowledgeable or you will get a bunch of bs.
