Depends on your intended use. Assuming it's boat anchor, get the heavier
one.

Arrange them alphabetically and then take the first one in the list.

Based on specs alone:
Both are aluminum frames, so they're the same. One might fit better
though.
FORKS: Marin's slightly better.
Wheels: DT spokes on the Marin, which suggests it might be a tad
better.
DRIVETRAIN: Marin has a couple more Alivio parts, givng the nod to the
Trek. The Trek also comes w/ clipless.
BRAKES: disc is standard with Marin, extra on Trek. Unless you're
really going all out, disc is overkill. I've never had them.

SUMMATION:
I just wasted 7 minutes.
