Used bike advice Trek Fuel EX8 FS vs Norco Torrent HT

I am trying to get back into biking and looking for a new to me used bike. I have an ancient Specialized Hardrock and want an upgrade. We have some great local trails, roots, rocks, some ups and downs. No real downhill stuff. I have always been a heavy guy, I’m 5’-10” was probably 240-260lbs when I last was consistently riding, went up to 320lbs, down to 190lbs now. Also plan on getting a shotgun rider setup for my 3yo and 1yo girls to use over the coming years while they fit.

I have read nothing but amazing things about the Norco Torrent, and honestly this price seems like a deal. Currently waiting to hear back on it. I believe 2021 ish.

The 2016 Trek Fuel EX8 came up and it has me questioning full suspension vs hard tail. Seems like a great bike too. Read that geometry is outdated but I doubt that will mean much to me, everything is a big upgrade.

Any advice is appreciated. And if FB market pics aren’t allowed I can take them down.
