A good deal is a bike that fits, first. In my limited experience hybrids suck on the trail, but might be more comfy on the road, if only slower. However, suspension makes for a lot more fun. Bikes will feel different based on geometry, gotta get on it and ride and compare, with it adjusted properly in the right size.

Locate all the bike stores within an acceptable-to-you distance from your home. Wander around each one. Ride the bikes you like the look of. Take notes. Go back and re-check the ones you liked best. Make your decision that way. We can't tell you what you're looking for; only you can do that for yourself.
