Ease of attaching and detaching

Hi,
the sailplanes below are from
www.segelflug.de
and
ones you can buy
with a (relatively) small amount of money, but they
still are suitable
for crosscountry (L/D = 35). The only plane among these
I'm familiar
with is LS 4 controls-non-automatic-version so it will
be kind of
benchmark for other planes.
Now I'm considering to buy one of listed planes for
myself and for many
reasons my future plane will not be hangared, but kept
in a trailer
when it is not used. From attaching and detaching*
point of view, which
one would be optimal plane 'to be taken out of the
trailer in the
mornign and put back in the evening' usage?
ASW20
LS 3 & 4
Speed Astir II
DG-300
JANTAR
Std. Cirrus
Mistral C
If there is easy to attach/detach plane, which is not
in the list and
you can buy it with less than 25000 EUR, please let
me know.

* What is the right word in 'soaring english' to be
used for this?
All modern gliders are 'easy' to rigg and de-rigg *
don't let this be a deciding factor.
