Don't know either of those bikes, but both the Scott's have front suspension, I was under the impersion that suspension and fast didn't generally go hand in hand.
I would say have a look at the Trek FX range, they are nice looking and a fast hybrid IMO.
Also what sort of budget are you looking at spending? As there is a big jump to the p1 price compared to the other two bikes.

I've got a Trek 4400 MTB, a Scott Sportster P3, and an old Specialized. All three are used for different cycling 'genres'! 
I think a Sportster would be good for your needs.

Was the best I found when I was looking, but my budget was a bit lower than yours and my use different. Mine been road/ paved bike path. None of this semi of road stuff. I think the FX's are defo just for road/pavement use, although saying that the 7.5 I have has good clearance so you could get some chunkyish cross tyres on there making it a possibility. But if you planned routes are bumpy you probably will appreciate the front suspension of the Scott’s

go to a decent LBS that specialises in that sort of bikes and see what they have, they'll be stuff out there you won't have seen and they can recomend stuff suited to you
my very local LBS is on the edge of Epping Forest and couldn't even sell me a road bike other than two top end Canondales, they've got a row of hybrids for commuters and the rest of the shop is banged out with MTBs and variations of MTBs
that sort of shop
