I had a similar dilemma a few months ago and ended up going with the one that I thought was a better bang for the buck. And, ok, better color, too. But I should have gotten the Giant Escape b/c it fit me better. (I was able to resolve the fit issue on the other bike, but still think about the Escape and may end up purchasing it since it is on sale now!) I don't know anything about Fuji bikes or the way they fit, but I tend to have good luck with Giant's geometry. If you can ride them back to back - take as much time as you need - my suggestion is to go with the one that feels like a more natural fit. In terms of frame quality, I feel very confident about Giant, then again, I don't know anything about Fuji.
