I would use whatever bike is most comfortable and can carry what you need to bring.
Whichever bike you ride, using the widest tires that will fit the frame, fork and brake calipers will minimize the wear on your body. Wider tires at lower pressure transmit less vibration to your body than narrow ones at high pressure.
