For both the Alysa and the Calico, I'm going to share a personal bias: I'm not a fan of flat (straight) bars on hybrids. For me and most of the folks I sell bikes to, this is not a relaxed riding position. On mountain bikes, flat bars are the order of the day, to help control steering and the front end over technical stuff. On a hybrid, not really necessary to have that degree of front end control.

I'm a much bigger fan of swept-back / cruiser bars on hybrids, where the grips are parallel to the frame instead of perpendicular. An example of such a line:
