I'd recommend any hybrid goes with a triple, TBH. More versatility. It's not like you can push on on the big ring in quite the same way as a roadie anyway, so the range comes in handy at the slight expense of top end speed. No major compromise for the majority of cyclists.0 -

depends on the use
I prefer my double for city based commuting in hilly Edinburgh0 -
The triple does mean there's slightly more to go wrong, but it certainly isn't a 'wrong' choice. It's not your legs doing the riding anyway! Most people don't 'need' more than about 5 gears for the type of riding they do, but like to have the options and a 'get home' gear as a last resort is nice.It's only numbers.0

Sirrus are good and that seems a good price for yours. I now ride a Boardman Hybrid Team and it's the best bike I've had (Cannondale for previous 6 years).
But agree with comments re Halfords but thats just for servicing and fixing.
