I have a Trek 3700 that I a couiple of years ago and ride the Katy quite often between St. Charles and Dutzow. The bike handles the trail with ease. I have a quick release pannier rank on the rear, but have yet to use any bags on it. That's planned for the near future.
The Katy trail is made of a crushed limestone type material, which has been no problem to the stock MTB tires. I've seen many people riding hybrids and recumbents on the trail, so either of your bikes would be fine, the choice is yours.
