You'll get more capacity with the hybrid, but better performance with the SSD. Once the hybrid is "trained" it'll definitely boot faster than a straight HDD, but file transfer times will be the same. Personally, I'd go for the SSD.

Basically it's a question of matching up the components with your computing habits. If you like to have lots of tabs and applications open at the same time and have lots of files to store, like media files, the 16GB DRAM and 1TB HDD would probably be a better choice. If you need fast boot and loading speeds and don't have tons of stuff running simultaneously, go for the 8GB and SDD.

Unless you really, really need the extra RAM (8 vs 16), the SSD only is better
If you absolutely need the drive space, the other one is better.

What will you be using it for?

Then the 8GB RAM + SSD only is the way to go.
