I know neither are great options, but I’m wanting to get something cheap that’s at least okay to ride on. I would just go ahead with the Ozark Trail, but I’m 6’3 and they only have a medium at my local Walmart. I’m just going to be riding for general fitness and i live in Florida so no hills to climb. TIA

I am always an advocate for buying secondhand. You can find some pretty solid bikes for cheap (needs some work, outgrown the model, etc.) and bring it into a shop. You spend around the same amount but for a higher quality bike.
I personally want the ozark trail g1 like you but i am also exactly 6’3”. I have heard great things about the g1 except the brakes sqeak and the fork tends to get put on backwards by walmart. Honestly the medium frame is too small for us. I think mattyactive on youtube tried it and he likes it but he 6’ and its still to small for him. If the hiland fits and you got no other option( i would encourage you to look into used bikes but it can be intimidating if you don’t feel comfortable fixing a machine you dont know about) i would go hiland.
I am also 6’3” and the thought of riding one of these is comical.
All I can say is wrist shifters are terrible, always try to get those built in the levers.
And that I’ve been pretty happy (other than the shifter) with my triban RC100.
If you are 6′-3″, the Ozark Trail may be too small for you. I’m 5′-8″ and I have the medium. They are making a larger, flat bar version now (I recommend the flat bar for newer riders) but they’re hard to find.

FWIW, here are my videos on the drop bar version
