I guess this depends on what engine/trans the Civic has, but if it's a manual I'd get it. This would allow you more control if you're really into hypermiling. The Civic's weight and frontal area are slightly smaller, giving you an advantage if you plan to heavily aeromod it (reducing Cd is easier than reducing FA).
If you plan on using it mostly for city driving, then go with the Prius, as it has regenerative braking.
But maybe owners or either should have a say.
