Picking first bicycle

I am a new user obviously, and live in a small middle of nowhere town in eastern KY, with a lot of mountains around me, and some small elevations on the roads that I have ridden on my $70 wally world bike, which of course didn't last a long time.

I am about 210, and have been walking as a way to maintain and control weight I guess you could say, but what I've been wanting is to buy a bicycle I can actually use, I have been looking at cruisers for some reason I like the simplicity of them and the fact that they seem to outlast anything else on the road, but never used a coaster break bike, in a few weeks I'll rent one when I go to Virginia Beach.

Using the Wmrt Roadmaster I would most times have to climb out of it to get up a hill, simply because the gears would be shifting on their own when ever I applied strength trying to climb the hill on it, and most of the time I just stayed in one gear, so here comes the question what would you all recommend for me to use and save money on?

Been looking at Worksman INB and Republic Aristotle
