It doesn't matter what bike you choose as that comes in second to proper fit, the value of which is the first thing you should think about. Otherwise you'll be posting here in a couple of months about tingling hands and a sore ***** LOL.
The quality of each of these machines is probably fine, your level of fitness vs your route will determine the gearing you need. Look at a triple with an 8 or 9 speed rear for a nice selection of choices for killer hills. This is general but per your post, you're new and need some background. Also, get some commuting style clip in shoes (ones you can actually walk on off the bike) with the cleat imbedded in the sole. These are handy.
