I picked the Brose motored Specialized Turbo Levo as I felt it had the least resistance at cutout above 25kmh.
Done a 75km ride this morning and was going along the flat, and looked down and I was doing 33kmh and can say I never felt the power cut out. ?‍♂️

Neither the E7000 or 8000 has any noticable resistance after the assistance cuts out, I'd personally avoid the E7000 though. (partly as it has lower torque, partly as I killed one in just 5 weeks of road commuting)
Whatever you go for buy fast rolling tyres for it.

if its just for commuting i wouldn't be looking at mountain bikes full stop, i've done quite a lot of riding on all the motors you mention and all have very little to no drag. all hold speed just fine on flat roads above cut off but over cut off acceleration is hard work.
i'd be looking at something like an orbea gain or something similar it's a much better option for what your describing

I was thinking doing a bit of trail riding as well at the weekends as I live in Cornwall and there are some beautiful bike trails down here that was why I was thinking hardtail emtb
