Combat Reflexes is the one I'd have gone for too.
The original's AC was precisely midway between the Reptilian and Insectoid. If we did the same for the Humanoid it'd have AC43.
I would prefer a nice round AC 42 or AC 45 though, which would require a NA of +39 or +42. I don't much mind which.
Yes, I remember the Mountain Giant CR debacle when they first came out, they were MM2 weren't they?
I'm thinking CR 20, since they're not that far off from a Tarrasque statwise.
Based on the assumption that a six-foot tall Humanoid would weigh 300 lbs, like a slightly skinny gorilla or a really burly human, I'll say 500 tons. That's half the weight of the Reptilian.

Double posts are twice as nice! 
Let's go with 42.
The tarrasque is probably under-CRed. This thing would make paste out of a balor or pit fiend!
That works.
Nah. I'd like them to be able to speak Giant, at the very least. We can note that they can comprehend a smigeon of Common.
Ugh...only if we must!
I'd rather find suitable other giants to just say "use moutain giant stats" or whatnot.
If not, I'm leaving for a little over a week starting Friday, so you guys will have plenty of time to hash those out without leading to post-traumatic stress disorder for me.

CR22 is fine.
There are a couple of typos in it "stooped shoulderse" in the description, and "smigeon of Common" in the languages should be "smidgeon".
I think it's be easier to stat up a Huge and Gargantuan version for the juveniles. True giants have quite different abilities - no trample or crush attacks, using clubs rather than slams.
