Maybe he is thinking of them for commuting. That actually sounds like my ride to work when I lived in the center of Brussels and rode to work in the outskirts of the city. There were areas without good bike paths and areas under construction, which would make it necessary to negotiate obstacles and hop curbs, etc. You also needed to make sure that your brakes worked because sometimes people would turn without looking when you were crossing a street.
To the OP: I don't think it would matter which one of those bikes you bought, depending on what exactly is done to them I think you could manage to destroy just about anything given enough wear and tear. I did the above-mentioned commute on an MTB for about 6 months and I even somehow managed to screw up one of my wheels on that. So expect to pay for some repairs on whatever you buy if you are going to do such things.
