You can repot any time. Don't worry about the mythical 40° temperature. That really only effects seedlings, if it does anything at all. In fact, you can trim and repot after most of the leaves are bit by frost. Just so long as the stem and roots are okay - i.e. don't freeze - the plant should be okay to overwinter.

Also, should I dig up the larger healthier plants and trim down or use the container siblings that didn't grow as robustly in pots?

Tough call. Choose the plants you like the best. I think I might dig the big productive dirt plants, just because they have so much energy. But don't try to save the root ball. Plain old dirt can be lethal in a pot because it holds so much water.
