ride, ride, ride. Test ride everything you can get your hands on. Talk to your bike shops about what kind of riding you want to do, and ride all the bikes that fit you. People tend to love the bike they personally bought, but that is because that is what fits them. So take the time to find what you like, you won't regret it.

+1 to the "ride ride ride" advice. Don't take the advice of bike shop employees as to "what is best." Invariably the bike they sell is "the best" so their opinion is a bit lopsided.
But, beyond riding, you should READ BIKE REVIEWS. Google whatever bike you're interested and add the word "review" at the end. You can read what others have to say about any particular brand/model and make an informed choice as to what works for you.
