One of them is based on a platform that dominates the offroad scene in the middle east.
Is it the same exact replica of the Nissan patrol?
Or is the armada a mall finder americanized version like the pathfinder?

They all have transmission issues after 2014.
All 5.3 since 2007 are prone to lifter failure.
The 10 speed seems to be getting better reviews than the 8speed did.
I purposely sought out a 2009 6.2 Denali a few years ago because of this. 6 Speed Trans, 6.2, no AMF cylinder deactivation to cause lifters to fail.
2 things-
1- Realistically there are hundreds of thousands that survive not having issues. If you follow forums or FB it makes the problems appear way more common. (Average Joe that buys a Tahoe, and does not have issues, or make mods to it, is not going to join a fb group to say- "I have a bone stock 2016 Tahoe and it runs good" lol)
2- If you buy anything newer than a 2015 get a warranty.

Ish?
It has a less beefy front diff. Locker is missing. But Nissans hill descent does a great job finding tracking electronically.
Also...
armada 0 to top end
That 5.6 has more grunt from 110 mph ON than a lot of sports cars.
Not that it really matters.
ETA: to be fair, the endurance 5.6 was plagued with cylinder 7 scoring issues until mid 2019 or so. Annoying misalignment of an oiling jet on one machine. 1 in maybe 30 5.6s seem to have it. Of those that do, 1 in maybe 10 ever get noticed.
My truck technically has it, but makes no noise and still has a 6.1 0-60 time at 150k miles.
