Company car options - hybrid?

I am in the process of choosing a company car and am attracted by the low Benefit in Kind rates for the Peugeot 508 RX4 and Citroen DS5 hybrids, both of which are within budget. I will drive 12,000 miles per annum, and will pay tax at 40%, which would you recommend?

Better a Toyota Auris hybrid or a Prius or a plug in Prius. The Vauxhall Ampera is also worth considering.
