I suggest something with Canti-Lever brakes. Even with long reach calipers, they Specialized's and Trek's won't give you the flexibility to have 35c's and fenders, unless they're the CX or XO-1.
I have Bontrager Select Invert 35c on my Bianchi Strada and the ride is oh so comfy, yet corners well at high speed on damp roads.
If you're gonna go cross, go cross, not cross-like with calipers.
