Wow - you've sure been putting your time in on the lake. I haven't been there yet. Have they filled it up yet?
Prepared correctly, you may be correct that White Catfish (a species of bullhead) is superior in taste to Chanel Catfish.
As for hybrids, they taste delicious, but I release all of them these days because:
A) They contain a hellacious amount of neurotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals in their flesh. At this time, the DEP recommend only eating one meal a month to lessen your chance a getting cancer or suffer subtle deleterious effects on your neurological system.
Ref. page 63:

B) Those hybrids mean so damn much to some people, I don't want to be the one to kill them. Every evening during the summer and fall I see the same people trolling for them. I want to see those dedicated hybrid anglers do well and be happy.
