I have a Specialized 2021 Sirrus X 5.0 Flat Bar Road Bike and a 2014 Giant Escape 3... Opposite ends of the Hybrid spectrum including cost.
I'm getting up there so my observations might differ from your needs. Also a bigger fellow, 6'-2" - 260lbs.
Both fit me well. I find the seat on the Giant more comfortable than the Specialized.
I have a ton more miles on the Giant than I do the Specialized.

Specialize is light and quick, no two ways about it. I'm not a biggest fan of the future shock if it is now as it was on the 2021. On pavement, nice going straight, throw it into a quick sharp turn and I think it gives a little there and I don't care for that. Throw the front wheel to 10 o'clock and it seems like there is a little forward mush or something. It is very nice on gravel. Also 1x12. I like a few more gears to pick from. Oh lastly this is not a bike you can put a rack on regardless what they say (maybe the seat post?). This is a two door sports car in a sense, it lacks versatility.

I love my 2014 Giant Escape 3. Nothing fancy, just does what it's asked. I have thousands of miles on this bike.
I like lots of gears and a low - low as I do a lot of hills. I'm not embarrassed by how low the gear, just as long as I get to the top of the hill.
I also like that it can have a rack (and a bag). Stopping at the store, stuffing in another layer just in case. Keeping keys, phone, wallet...
This is an SUV in a sense. Not the fastest, but versatile. Not slow as I once clocked just over 40mph on a big downhill by my house.

In terms of drive train, I have no complaints with the modest drive train on the Giant .

I bought the Specialized because I thought I needed to "move up". In hindsight that is accurate to a degree, but the Specialized is kind of a little too focused for me. I like the versatility of the Giant. Honestly I've wondered what I might do about the future shock... Stiffer Spring or standard Fork... live with it?. A bike somewhere in the middle might have been better.

On another note I just spent $200 on a tune up for the Giant. I'm no good with a wrench on a bike. I probably have spent 3x or 4x the cost of the bike on maintenance and repairs. Most of it was due to use, I did have a few issues with spokes and rear axle. I think that was due to my size, aggressive riding and entry level materials on the Giant. Love this bike though.

So personally I would suggest Specialized Sirrus X 4.0 based on the pros and cons of the two hybrids I have. Buff it out rack, bag, bottles, seat pack... and ride the heck out of it.

Between the other two, both beautiful bikes that I think would serve you well. Both a little fussier than a mid line Hybrid.
One is a little more forward in design and the other is a little more standard. Sharp edge of the knife (Trek) or tip of the knife (Specialized).
About the Specialized frame, jury still out for me. One minute I love it, the next I'm trying to wrap my head around it.
Might just come down to fit?
