You didn't say what kind of riding - or terrain - or weight.
Tire width is in mm.

My take:
28mm - you are not doing fast group rides, not trying to climb hills fast, you are north of 220lbs. As this is a hybrid - seems like the best fit.
25mm - you want to go a wee faster, you have cleats for pedals, you have 24mm or smaller width rims, you are OK using more tire pressure, you weigh under 220lbs, you have lots of hills. These are not normally seen on hybrids.
