I would say raptor or Z, but I would go for the rap. yfz and 400ex dont have reverse and you will need that for trail riding. The raptor will kill a z400 power wise and I think its more comfortable too. Sit on all of them and decide which one feels best.

05 YFZ- no clue, never ridden one.
05 Rapter- too top heavy.
05 Z400- ok, but hates to be bogged down.
04 400ex- wins it for me, lack of reverse isn't really an issue

and yes i've test driven all that i commented on.
