tire size: what would you pick between the two?

Took a look at your site; 2015 Patriot Altitude, right? Appears the only differences between that and the standard version is cosmetic (black aluminum wheels/black accents). With a 2.0L/150hp for motivation, CVT, and OE gearing, I'd be awful hesitant in selecting larger rubber, especially with a travelling family on-board.
Personally a fan of articulation/flex/full-lock without rubbing, and a quick look on the forums shows anything larger not able to do that (not much space with this design). I'm also a fan of taking into account whatever the OE chose on their best off-road package (if such a thing exists for a vehicle). It does here (Trail Rated model), and that fitment was 215/65/17.
All things considered, that'd be my pick. Good luck!

No mine has a 2.4l, 4x4, 6spd automatic, no cvt garbage. I owned a trail rated 2010 patriot, and my 2015 has the same suspension and, now with the 6sp instead of the cvt i have the same low range (very close). Both sizes fit and move along fine with no rubbing. I am wondering between the two. Many people use both, and I am trying to figure out which ones to order.

While only talking about 10mm in section width difference.... it's still wider.
If you see a bit of snow driving, I'd stick with the narrower rubber.
It'll also offer a little more sidewall height, and typically lighter, though, that close in size, not sure how much.

Depending on terrain, that yokohama is a great tire. A lot of trucks out here in the desert run them and theyre great for float in the sand.

Hankook Dynapro AT-M is their top all-terrain tire.

Yes, that is the AT hankook I am talking about. I have dedicated studded winter tires for it for the winter. This is strictly summer/spring/fall tires. I think the 235 are what I am going to use. Main reason is I had great luck with hankook at-ms in the past.

Yeah, go with the Hankooks. No one here in CO runs the Yokos on the trail. They are a decent pavement pounding all-terrain, but i have never seen a set on a trail.
