I would say, go mountain bike, even if all you do is ride it mostly on pavement for the time being, it'll suffice for that, and when you do decide to start trail riding you won't have to fork over another sum of money to buy another bike, and by the time you start riding off road, you will have money saved by not buying two bikes to upgrade if you choose, or put towards a better bike as your skills increase. I would only recomend a Hybrid if you have NO plans at all of riding trails, and only want a bike to commute and ride paths. Get a mountain bike with the right geometry and you're set.
If you happen to find a Trek Bruiser I would jump on it, I have one, I love it. Just my opinion though
