Default Hybrid option

I am looking at getting a new bike and have been looking at hybrids. I already have an off road bike and a secondhand rigid mountain bike which I have adapted a little bit to suit me and for road work, slicks etc but it just doesn't feel right.

Someone mentioned that a hybrid would be a good all round bike for where i live, in the country with varying roads. Are the Marin Sausalito a good option ?

I bought a Trek 7500 this summer. I really like it. I ride with my wife and pull a trailer for my kids, yet I also get out into the country (tar and gravel) for some 10 mile rides alone. Works great for both. The best part for me is the large comfy seat. Sure I'm now looking into a nice road bike for longer rides by myself, but for now I couldn't be happier with my hybrid
