Choice of bike

Hello fellow forum-ites, first post here.

I need an updated bike. My last bike is a Free Spirit I got 13 years ago as a 7th grader. For perspective purpose, now I TEACH 8th graders.

btw, I guess y'all can tell I am a newbie.

It will be used mostly as...

-commuter/alt. mode transportation bike for those short trips around town
-occassional trail/rides around local parks


Here are the features I wanted:
Aluminum frame
front suspension
disc brake
durable for casual riding. The bike will probably used as least once or twice per week during
price range about $500-$600

I did some research around some local bike shops and online, here are the few I see that fits the bill:
Trek 6000
Scott Reflex 45 (test rode it and I like it quite a bit but at about $550-600 range, the price/feature ratio is a bit stiff)
Giant Sedona Lx

More suggestion welcome,
Thank you
