I personally don't like gas or pellet grills so out of the options in your OP, I'd go BGE.
If it was me though, I would go with a couple of burners with a removable griddle top. This way you have a griddle but can still remove it to use the burners for frying or doing a big pot of gumbo. For a grill, I would just use whatever normal grill I have available. For you it could be a BGE on a movable base, for me it would be my gravity series.
Between new grills constantly coming out and grills needing to be replaced, I just wouldn't want to have a custom cut hole in my counter knowing eventually I would need to find the exact right sized product to fit in there when the old one needs to be replaced. It also gives you the freedom to replace the old equipment to try the new things coming out as you wish without having an unused grill taking up counter space. A griddle/burner is versatile and will always have a use.

Here's a different take on what most people think is possible for an outdoor kitchen.
I do not believe a BBQ pit should be under an enclosed area, if you have smoke and food flare up, it can make your outdoor entertainment area smoky and unpleasant for guests. Also since I do a lot more traditional cooking than BBQ, I would much rather have a full-sized gas stove outside with an oven.
Plus it keeps the wife happy when I cook outside and don't smell up the house with gravys, rouxs, and other delicious smells. Add in a full size sink and fridge/freezer, and you can do everything outside. Great during football season.
I know many people who rack up a serious bill on stainless grills, drawers, and other amenities they get upsold on at these outdoor centers, just to be not wholly satisfied in the end.
I think of my outdoor kitchen as more of a camp and use it more than I do the one inside.

Do all of them. Options are good.
(or is it a space issue?)

Will do, as soon as the grass boys are done, and out of the way.

I use it for cooking and drinking…smoking takes place on an open deck. I have a three burner stove, a mini Weber grill, a 36” griddle and a small cast iron wood stove ducted out for heat

The setup will be completely under roof on a back patio. There’s a 12 foot space to put the stuff in. I used to have a 4 burner Blaze gas grill and a large BGE. I used both quite often but they went when I sold my house. I’ve been intrigued by the Master Built gravity fed charcoal grill but it seems a bit cheap. The wife wants a gas grill and a flat top but I don’t see a need for both. I need a smoker. It seems like the more I look the less sure I am of what I want.

If you are going to have a dedicated cooking area outdoors, a.k.a. "Outdoor Kitchen," Then you will eventually wind up with what the wife wants, and what you want. That is what happened to me, and several friends. I have my offset smoker, my charcoal grill, the wife has her gas grill, and we both fight over the 36 in. griddle. I try to say it is mine but she uses it as much as I do. 
Good luck on your selections!
