the auto focus very often only works when switching to manual, turning the focus on the lens and switching back to auto focus

Does your F/W have an option for "Focus Search?"  If turned off, the camera will not attempt focus if the focus is initially too far off.  Just a thought.

Otherwise, I agree with the others that the 700D and 70D would be your two top picks.  The main difference is that the 70D is a lot more capable when shooting action.  And it has Micro Focus Adjustment if any of your lenses front or back focuses.

I'd recommend heading to a store and trying them out in person though.  You'll probably come to a pretty quick/easy decision.

Best of luck,
