Can't talk to the latest models, but I've been very happy with my 2010 Transit Connect LWB. Having two side doors is a great help and it's (mostly) been reliable. The cab is small, but since it's only me that's not a problem. I have the one with folding bulkhead which opens up a space into the front seat if I need to get a long ladder in.
It also fits into all the car parks (just) which is very handy if parking in underground car parks for jobs.
It even proved it's security is better than Fords reputation when some scrote tried to break in, drilled the ignition and door but couldn't get it started or open the side doors to get at any of the tools.
When it was being reparied I had a 2018 Combo and hated it - the turning circle was rubbish compared to the Transit and it felt much less 'tight' when driving - though being a hire van probably didn't help it's case.
Might be worth looking at hiring a couple of candidates for a day just to see how they work in practise? Probably better than a short test drive to get a real feel for how it will be when you're a few years down the line.
