If it were me I would be leaning towards a bike that's more suitable for
commuting/touring. The options you listed are all great bikes and I don't think you could really go wrong with any of them. Just remember you'll need some money in addition to the cost of the bike for rack, fenders, lights, bell, bike computer
, panniers and any number of things you will deem absolutely necessary once you've become hooked on commuting. 
Have fun.
Why does someone need a bike computer for commuting?
