So, Matt, somehow, I'm not sure how, tapatalk is throwing your questions on Canyon/Colorada forums on my feed. Forums I've never been to. "It knows". I don't remember subscribing to you, but some connection must have happened.

My one comment (without reading through the lengthy awd, seat and suspension) comparisons would be to watch out for AWD (i.e. engaged transfer case) vs. On-demand-sorta-AWD (i.e. engages after detecting slip). Methinks you would not like the latter. I actually think it's a bigger deal than rear diff, e.g. I went through the Tacoma and 4-Runner configurations quite a bit. Based on what I read, I don't think 4wd + rear diff will be as good as awd + open diff on snowy roads at any kind of speed. And once that awd has a axle to axle locking option, the lower speed advantage is largely taken care of.
