Clueless newbie looking for a hybrid for me and my wife

Expected Use : 80% probability sit in my garage and rust; 20% probability ride in bike paths and maybe some limited dirt trails

Saw a Trek 7100 and a 7300 at LBS (Jax) and a Diamondback Menona at Sport Chalet. Menona was similar price range as Trek 7100 and appeared to have better components (please refer to first two words of email text). What do ppl think abt the Diamondback Menona?

More cost effective to rent a bike every once in a while then to buy one that you won't ever use.
