Hybrid

I usually recommend Toyota Hybrids over any other hybrid, even Honda. Toyota has 20 years of time tested hybrid technology. Prius technology has made it across their entire fleet.

However Honda has a compelling hybrid technology.  It is their third attempt at creating a hybrid system, and it is significantly different than their Honda predecessors, and even Toyota. Honda predecessors weren’t necessarily bad in terms of quality. They just weren’t as popular as Toyota’s technology.

Current generation Honda Hybrids are basically an EV but get its power from gasoline. Very fascinating. If it is was any other company I probably wouldn’t give it a second look, but it is Honda, a company known for quality and longevity.

Toyota Hybrids usually split the duty of propelling the vehicle between the ICE and the electric motor.

If you want tried and true, go with a Toyota Hybrid.

If you are willing to take a chance, go with the Honda Hybrid. Heck, drive them both and see what you like better.

If you want a hybrid, go with Toyota - their (true and tried) system is the best and can last the longest (150,000-200,000 miles usually, in some cases more) before needing battery and other components in hybrid system (like generator) replaced which can be very expensive.  Also, look at a new or very low mileage example.  Do not buy a higher mileage hybrid.  

In general, however, I recommend a regular gas vehicle over hybrid, especially if you plan to put lots of mileage well past 150 or 200,000 miles on it. They will last longer than a hybrid version, and more mechanics can work on regular gas vehicles over hybrids.  Regular gas vehicles have enough complexity as it is;  going hybrid adds to that.  Out of warranty, finding a competent mechanic that knows how to work on hybrids will be a challenge and being a specialty expect to pay more;  going to a dealer would be very expensive as well (and they usually are incompetent).

You may want to run some numbers. There's a good chance that you'll never save enough money on gas to pay for the additional cost of the hybrid.
