The main thing would have to be comfort (I don't want to feel every little pebble on the 30km trip to work rattling my spine). It doesn't have to be too fast but it should definitely be durable!
It sounds like you might want to get a touring bike and not a road bike.
If you really want a road bike, then carbon fiber should provide the comfort you are looking for. But I don't know of any CF bikes for the price you want to spend.
