Since you do not appear to have a lot of experience on a bike (educated guess on my part) I would get a 6-speed Citizen, or equivalent. I think you might find a single-speed folder a bit limiting in situations like a moderate hill or getting up onto a bridge.
I like my single-speed Dahon, but it's not for all situations. We are currently riding on various bike paths around the U.S. and our 8-speed folders are quite satisfactory, but for longer rides or over more challenging terrain we prefer our 27-speed folders.
