Welcome from Bristol, England.
I'm not disabled myself so have no specialist knowledge on the subject, but my gut feeling would be the Trike option.
In the UK we have a charitable organisation called NABD who can give advice to disabled riders and in some cases may (I believe) be able to partly assist with the costs of adapting a bike.
Before commiting yourself to one course or another try doing some Internet Searches to see if there are any similar organisations in the USA or your State. Even if theyre only able to offer advice and possibly recommend someone to do the work for you it would be worth having.
I'm sure there must be other disabled American riders on this forum. Hopefully one or more of them will see your this and be able to recommend such organisations.
Glad to have you with us and good luck on getting some helpful advice.
