As with every device selection thread, it would help if you could summarize your needs/wants. I can see that you've included some in your brief assessment of each device you're considering but it's trickier to refer to them that way.

For any device, if you're not actively using the GPS receiver (icon in notification bar) it will not impact battery life.
