Thats a pretty good list, and I would think any of these would do fine. Most I know of only by reputation, and have not sailed any of them offshore for any extended period. The Choey Lee and the Formosa would probably be at the top of my list among these choices. I might suggest adding an Allied 39 to your list if you can find one. I have some long distance offshore time on one of these, and are very comfortable long distance cruisers. The Taiwan built boats can be somewhat of a problem, as it is my understanding there is a lot of variation between boats of the same year and model. So, a very good surveyor, who is familiar with the boat of your choice would be an absolute requirement.
donot forget westsail--32 is a good one as is the 42 and 43 depending on budgetary constraints--remember the westsail 32 is the boat that survived the perfect storm ....i have a formosa 41--there is always a lot of work to do with and on these for deep water work...but they are awesome boats---the babas and anything perry designed --very excellent boats....hans christian--many are seaworthy and many others are goood choices. there are wetsnail 32s available for pittance and some for over 100k---those are very overpriced and owner doesnt really wanna sell---many are in the 10-20k range, if approached with cash in hand--lol..is a buyers market to the max--
I'd have to say Hans Christian or Pearson 35' and up. I also like Westsail 32 and Creelock.
You should be able to find something here.....

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."
