JD will be more expensive, but then there is a reason you don't see many on Cra*gs list for sale. I paid ~$2500 in 1991 for ours & it still runs great -except where son#2 ran into it with the pick-up. Parts are available 19 years later
Horsepower does not seem to be as important as torque, mine is listed at 12 HP, moving a twin blade 43" cutting deck with chute to a two bag catcher. Our lawn sounds about as big as yours - I would not get a smaller cutting deck. Kohler engines seem to last forever. Most of the pro grass-cutter guys around here (SoCal) use either Honda walk-behind or JD rider.
I have no long-term experience with the other brands.
