There's a reason why Scott, Ororo, (Jean,) and Logan were chosen for the movie.

If Jeen was your first experience with the character it explains your lack of awareness, Jean even dead consistently rated higher than characters that were active in comic. As well repeatedly referenced in comic.
The former EIC said she received the most fan mail of any X-character while away. She was consistently asked about during panels, Cons, etc. she was fairly popular for a character gone 14 years. Jeen's immediate appeal and escapades were based on her relation to her older self, as well as a large part of the interest in the character. Even if her personality was unique.
I'll say yes. Those 3 are hands down the most recognizable X-men and are always the ones who get top billing in everything. Hell, Wolverine and Storm are always the first revealed in every outside media. One example for this is MUA 3 and MvC series. Cyclops gets the short end of the stick in today's time but many people are still aware of him more than the other members.
Here's the thing: both the Avengers and the Justice League were teams created by bringing together established heroes. The X-Men as a concept are more about bringing together kids just discovering their abilities and training them to become a team of heroes. Logan is fairly rare(sure Angel was doing a tiny bit of heroing before Xavier recruited him, but extremely small in scale) in that he came to the team already an established solo act(where he was positioned as a rival to the Hulk of all people), so your point is fair(and since his Claremont spin off series, that trend has only escalated over time). That said, out of the X-Men, if we are to have a Big Three, Storm, Cyclops and Wolverine slip into the archetypes well.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
No, they are not a trinity. I honestly don't see a trinity. Storm is one of my favorites, but there are more than three core X-Men. Wolverine is the only one that compares to the big three of DC.
