Trincao is young, looks to have the tools, and can get better. Hwang is older, looks to have questionable basics and has slowly got worse.... What do you think?
Where we are now, I think I'd much rather have Trincao as part of the squad for the next few seasons.
As you say, I think he can get much better. His ceiling is a lot higher than Hwang's and he is a lot younger. I also think Trincao will end up being a very adaptable player, who can either play off the wing, as a wider attacking midfield player, as a 10, or even as the most attacking option in a midfield 3. Very similar to all the roles Bernardo Silva can fill for City. So he gives a manager options.
I just can't see where Hwang fits in at the moment. He's not a central striker and he's not really a wide player. His best position is probably as a second striker playing off a target man, which we know Bruno wants. But we don't play that way (yet), so his role just becomes a squad filler, who can fill in across a few positions we use, but not very well. He then just blocks a path to first team minutes for players like Chiquinho, Chem Campbell, etc.
Maybe his role will become clearer when we know who is coming in and how Bruno is planning on setting up next season.
