Welcome to BF.
Is there some reason why you're limiting your choices to the two bikes listed? Have you been to more than one bike shop?
Look at lots of bikes and test ride every bike that appeals to you.

I think you mean road bike when you're talking about hills.
Someday I hope you'll understand that hills are your friends -- they make you stronger.
Tires: medium to wide width for the type of riding you'll be doing. (26x1.25 or 26x1.5 or 700x28 to 700x35)
Suspension: no.
