It's that time of year, to dream about spring lake trout fishing! I've had great luck through the Tuscarora - Gillis loop the past couple springs, but without my boys (6 and 9). I want to take them in this May to get on some lakers, but the Tuscarora/Gillis loop is probably too much for us to do given the portage lengths and the fact that they can't pack much weight. Looking at maybe Daniels or Ram EP. Both Daniels and Little Trout seem like great lakes for relative ease of access and quantity of eater-sized lake trout. Does anyone have a preference about those? Or other lakes I'm overlooking?

Speaking strictly on ease of access...compared with getting to Daniels by EP, Little Trout is no gimme. Some very tough portages (by BWCA standards) regardless how you plan on getting there.
Personally I've had better luck fishing on Little Trout but, know Daniel's has produced well for others.

Leaflicker69: " All the LT seem stunted in these lakes. Lack of Cisco's or something. "
They are very slow growing there, in the case of Daniels a couple of decades back there was fish over 30 inches, but fishing pressure is too great and, in that lake, a 30-inch lake trout is like 30-40 years old there. Too precious to keep if you catch the big one.
