They are all decent bikes, made by the Trek brandI wouldn't narrow your search just to them, unless that's all that's offered by your favorite shopI'd go by what fits bestFirst off, the answers above are incorrect - if you race B or C level races, you'll be fine with disc brakes, at the UCI races domesticallyThey only enforce the UCI rules for junior, espoir, and elite racesSo, if you live in a muddy area, discs could be the way to go if you don't think you'll upgrade to the top level very quicklySecond, the bikes fit differentlyLemonds tend to be quite long - about 1cm longer in top tube than other bikesIf you have a long torso or like to be stretched out, that could be a good fit Steel will be a little heavier and ride differently than aluminum, but the biggest difference in ride/speed will be made in tires and tire pressureIronically, despite the discs offering better mud clearance, the trek frame offers better mud clearance by the chainstays - allowing wider tires than the poprad (non-disc model at least.I haven't inspected the disc model)you can run really wide tires in the trek - which makes it nice for rougher trailsI've ridden the non-disc model of the poprad and it's a nice steel bikeIt has better parts than the disc model (wheels, rear derailleur) and that should not be neglected in your decisionAlso, it's very easy to upgrade your wheels if you're serious about 'cross (tubulars) if you don't have the disc model - you'll have to get something probably custom made to get race wheels for the disc modelThe wheels on the non-disc poprad and the xo-1 are the same It's true - Trek is dropping lemond, but should still warranty the itemsThat could become a collector's item - which could be good or badgood luckhope that helps
