Looking over your list, the Mystique is probably the best choice given your initial criteria (mininimal maintenance - - - no big engine replacements or repairs in the near future).
All the boats look good (with one exception), but the larger sightly older Cigarrettes, Apache, and Outerlimits are likely near a rebuild at the very least. Although a first hand inspection and thurough survey (and even then you can't be positive) is the only way to be sure.
There a really so few Mystique's out there compared to the other boats that there is just not enough first hand experiance and knowledge for people to comment on them. But with that said, my choice would be the Mystique for looks and reliable performance. That is unless the Gladiator works out.
At this point in the game, I would even ask for Tres Martin's opinion about the Mystique - - - It is tough to beat his level of experiance and knowledge with offshore boats.
Good Luck.
