If you just need a bike for once in a while, the hybrid. If you might ride regularly, the gravel bike.
Also, if you're near a bike shop, a chat with the staff and maybe a test ride would help you choose. Good luck.
I'm new to biking but keen to build an interest. Will initially be riding alone on mostly flat ground. However I don't want to buy something that I will need to replace should I develop and cycling becomes something I do on a regular basis and I start exploring more. Hope that makes sense.
