"And whatever else comes to mind" to me would be important depending on how much land you have and budget. Shame to buy then wishing you had something else. Having Deere I would lean towards 1025R, 60" deck & FEL. Tractors, versatility is the key.
I understand an all in 1 machine. My primary concern for this machine is mowing and that’s it. Maybe a snow blower 1 day but that not even a necessity currently

We have a JD X744, diesel, AWS, 62" deck and the wife likes mowing with it. Dad has a JD X749, diesel, AWS, 4x4, 62" deck, snow plow. Neighbor has a X750, gas, 62" deck. There are lots of those Deere garden tractors around here doing lots of work.

How many acres to mow? Hilly or flat? Trees & bushes?

I suspect the X750 will have a tighter turning radius than the BX but the BX1850 I had approx 10 years ago mowed as well or better than my current X540. No experience with newer X7** series or newer BX series. BX might be harder on the lawn when turning.

2 acres, mix of slight sloping and level, obstacles are a 12x16 shed w/ lean to, large chicken coop w/ run, 20x30 garden, and about 15 trees

I just noticed you already have a BX if the tractor on your profile is up to date. I gotcha now. Yeah for a big diesel lawn tractor the JD 700 series you are looking at doesn't have many other comparisons out there.

Yes I have a BX23s. I have an older gas John Deere with 42” deck. Still works fine but I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while. I’d like to get something durable, Diesel engine, and much bigger mowing width. My theory is buy something good, keep up on maintenance, store it inside, and it should last me forever
