For the kind of bike that you're looking at I would go for steel because of its classic looks, comfort, nice paint and price. Ti would be nice and everything, but I doubt the increase in ride quality is worth the increase in price and it looks a bit dull. Plus you can get a steel frame made in the UK, whereas I don't know of any Ti builders here (actually building here, there are plenty who outsource elsewhere).
