I'd go with the Cannondale Quick 3 because I have and love this bike. Like it's name says, it's pretty nimble and Quick for a hybrid. In fact, I've been trying road bikes the last two months and many of them aren't any faster than the Quick 3. which is why I decided that when I get the road bike it'll be carbon.
I've had mine set up in a less upright, more roadbike-like position (more aggressive). I do ride trails like your picture and it's fine. I feel more stable and balanced on the Quick 3 than I did on the Trek 7.3 or 7.5. I feel very much one with the bike.
