Any of the engines listed will work fine.
I use the OS TR in mine and it rocks. Honestly, it has more than enough power. OS is a proven engine and is easy to tune. On the other hand the Sirio is kick ass as well.

Pick a price your comfortable with and get one. You wont go wrong with the two I mentioned and I have no experience with the others.

Using a rear exhaust on the gt is tricky as far as the header and pipe choice you will need to make. Choose a pipe and got to your LHS with the setup and find the proper header that will allow the pipe to be properly positioned to the chassis. I needed to make some small modifications to the chassis to get my combo to fit.

Once you choose a setup it will be obvious what needs to be done.

Good luck

an os cv-rx 12 fits nicely with a stinger exhaust. the pipe runs out the back so its out of the way, the only thing youll have to do it replace the rear shock tower but one is included with the exhaust

btw, the exhaust kit is about 30 dollars, should be able to find it at your lhs

I run the os cv-rx 15 on my losi and i love it. Enough power to smoke the rear wheels and stable enough to outlast any part on the truck. I'm on gallon 5 or 6.

I kind of quit driving it since i purchased my maxx and threw $1500 worth of parts/upgrades at it. Wife says no more money, so i've been donating organs to science.

That was the losi xxx-nt which is relatively close to what your running. (ford vs chevy)
