I looked at all those tires and ended up going with a 4th decision of Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrains....and I like my decision. Driven over 15k and they are holding up perfectly. I could have gotten more outta them then i am going to but i neglected rotation for too long and it messed me all up.

But I like my choice. I think for a mainly street vehicle they were a good choice.

But I voted Baja Claws

if you have 16" rims make sure you go with the metric size in the ssr. they are much cheaper than standard size. no idea why. i got almost 25k out of mine on my ram 1500. rotated them 4 times total but i never drove over 65mph. the claws wear really well also. its really just a toss up of which one catches your eye.

MT's Baja Claws are shit on the road, if your intended use is off road only then go for it.
Very hard to get balanced because they are not truly round.
I see you don't have Nitto Mud Grapplers on your poll, you should....

I'd say of the three you listed I'd go TruXus based on the performance I've observed of the tires on other Jeeps. But I'd also look long and hard at the KM2 and Toyo MT.

ive never heard of anyone having trouble with their claws balancing. maybe the bias ply but not the radial. ive rode in the passenger seat of my friends Z71 to houston and back several times with his 33x12.50x17 and not even a slight vibration down the interstate. as far as the nittos ive ran them as well. sold them after about 4k miles. obnoxiously loud. beat you to death under 25 miles an hour. heres my truck when i had them. 33x12.50.17. sold them for the ssr.
