Realize that at similar price points, all of the bikes are pretty similar as well. You're not really paying for additional value. You're paying for what you think looks good.
Any bike in the right size range can be made to fit, so that shouldn't be a purchasing issue. Most bikes can be made to be more comfortable by just getting wider rims/larger tires. So while the bike's ability to take those wider tires may be an issue, not much else should be.
So, in sum, by the one that looks cool. Everything else can be easily adapted to your preferences.
