It looks like it would be pretty easy with either of those. I sort of like the cantilever brakes of the Fuji but they are both decent starter frames that you can adapt.

One caveat for you. 27” tires are a bit tougher to find a variety of sizes for...not as many on the road.

700c tires have lots of options!
