Really think about how much trail riding you will be doing and if that trail riding will be sort of aggressive single track with roots, rocks, switchbacks, a little air time with steep descents and ascents. If you think you will be riding frequently like that, get the bike that has disc brake tabs and install a set of hydraulic brakes like Shimano (xt and slx are very good brakes). IMHO, they are a huge improvement in every way, even safety, over cantis, v-brakes, or even mechanical disc for that type of riding.
It's not an Ogre, but I had the pleasure of riding a Surly Krampus this past weekend. Man, that bike was a blast.
