Just my opinion, for what it's worth....
Try a few bike shops and lots of bikes. The odds are that you'll
develop a strong level of trust and comfort with the personel in
at least one of the shops. The folks in this shop will be very
helpful with helping you to find the bike you want, whatever style
it may turn out to be. Remember to keep an open mind when shopping.
Try whatever they put you on. They can see the fit and read your body
language, it's what they do for a living. Once they've finally helped
put you on the bike that YOU WANT, you'll be sending us ride reports.
Good hunting & Happy Trails
