All 3 rifles will serve you well, the Colt is definitely overpriced, so I'd go DD or BCM, pick out of those 2 which you prefer.
I know you've got these to choose from, but a very lightweight option would be the DD M4 V7 LW. You'd be hard pressed to find a lighter rifle. Couple this with the DD barrel and enhanced magazine well with magpul moe stock that it comes with, add an aimpoint micro and you've got one of the lightest most dependable rifles on the market.
I would stay away from the Pinned barrel, unless you never have plans to change it.
As for the other options the Colt is about 100-150$ more than avg I would say. And as you said for the BCM the Fortis rail, you seem to be pretty sure your wife will not like it.
I would go the Colt personally. Don't have to pin FH and don't end up with a rail your wife doesn't like.
Or you could save yourself $150 and get this one:

I would also stay away from the pinned muzzle device. I like running 14.5s with pinned FHs but it is nice to get it set up how YOU really want it prior to having a muzzle device permanently attached. If something is an awesome deal and you can save so much that you can afford to send it off get it removed and and still come out ahead, thats another situation.
I like the look of the Colt here... give her somewhat of a blank canvas to work with. The colt will be an excellent rifle and although a mid-length would be a little softer on a woman, I can't see it being an issue.
I have no experience with the Fortis rail, I assumed you did by your comments. Sry for being misleading with that. I know the MOE handguards are fairly light, and my bud's rifle seemed pretty light with a Aimpoint PRO on his. At the same time I am 250lbs @ 6'3" so that could have been misleading as well.
good feedback everyone, and thanks for the info.
Does anyone see a benefit to an FSB vs lo-pro gas/rail or vice-versa?
