[Philmont]: Route selection

First post in this forum so please excuse me if this topic has been posted ad nauseum.

We're heading to Philmont next summer with a group of 14, 15, and 16 year olds. Most, if not all, of the boys are strong, experienced hikers, or at least athletic enough to adapt to anything thrown at them in the way of trek difficulty.

With the 35 available treks, are there any specific treks that are considered toughest or "must-do"? We prefer to take a trek that offers challenge and gratification once it's completed. What is the best way to determine which trek to take?
