Please offer advice on which quick release will fit this bike.
Thanks!

Depends on your rear axle and frame material as Shimano make three lengths (163, 168, and 173mm) 163 and 168 are for 130mm (steel and Al/CF respectively) whereas 168 and 173 are for 135mm (steel and Al/CF respectively).

Hybrids are usually 135; in that case, an MTB skewer like an XT would be a better choice over a road skewer (130mm) like Ultegra.
