Default Trying to choose the right cart...

Ok, so I am looking to buy an electric cart. I have never had a golf cart or an electric vehicle and getting a bit lost in all of the options out there. Looking for some advice on narrowing the choices. Thought I would go to the people with some personal experience and less bias than calling dealers.
The vehicle would be used some for 2 purposes. The first would be some neighborhood driving on paved roads. Does not necessarily need to be street legal in my neighborhood, but couldn't hurt either. The second and more common use would be to quietly drive on dirt or grass ranch roads with some hills. There would be some occasional light mud and a few hills but nothing crazy. Would like it to ride smooth enough to carry a few people comfortably but also rugged enough to handle Texas ranch conditions.

AC motor seems better than DC?
Aluminum frame vs steel
Rear independent suspension would be nice but not totally necessary
Could carry at least 4 people
Lithium batteries or could convert to Li at some point
Lifted
Reasonable cost
Buy new, buy used, DIY project?

After talking to some dealers I have heard several recommendations...
Club Car Onward HP lifted- comes in Lithium, reputable company, expensive
EZ Go Express S4 - AC motor, reputable, not street legal
Yamaha - haven't gotten much guidance toward a Yamaha EV
Icon - cheaper cart, can't get parts, only found in the southeast
Star EV SS Limited
Ziggy - big parent company, not rugged?, currently in Texas
Beast 48 - hunting rig on EZGo frame
HuntVe - UTV type EV, expensive, DC motor

Any advice or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!!
