I can not post links or pictures. But if you Google this two bike it will pop up.
I am having difficulty choosing between these two bikes. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thank you.

Hi and welcome! This part of bike forums is about older bikes. That said there are many knowledgeable, friendly folks here who would be happy to help you find and maintain an older bike if you have an interest in doing so.

Where will you be riding @Daniel3832 ? If mostly off road, then look for a mountain bike. If it will be paved surfaces like roads and paved bike paths and you are comfortable with dropped handlebars then a road bike would be the thing to look for.
As @Clang pointed out, on the Classic and Vintage forum, you are talking to people that prefer older bikes. One of the advantages of the older bikes is that it is possible, especially in spring time to keep an eye out for a bargain, if you know what you are looking for. But do some homework before jumping on a deal. One drawback to getting a used bike is that you will have to do some work on the bike or have it done by a local bike shop.
Were here for you if you decide to go the Classic and Vintage route.

i wouldn't recommend either of the bikes as both of these are very low end, not being a bike snob, but these will not be reliable or easy to repair. the features that look cool like the suspension or disc brakes are super low end and will not function well
If you give an idea of how much you want to spend, what type of riding you want to do, and your location people will often show you whats available used on you local craigslist

Since we are C&V I would suggest a Rockhopper or a stump jumper from 1992 for a MTB.
I would suggest a Trek 520 from 1983 for a road bike with lots of room for wider tread tires.
