If you're going to get a Fuji Absolute, then get the 2012 Absolute 2.0 at performancebike.com for $800. You won't be missing much from the Absolute 1.0, IMO. If you're a size 21" or 23", you can still get a 2011 Absolute 2.0 for $600! Now that's really more bang for your bucks!!!
If you're going to get the Cannondale Quick 3.0, then get that one from rei.com. It'll cost you $850, but that's a bargain, nonetheless!
OTOH, you can buy a Jamis Coda, an upright chromoly steel hybrid, that will last you for the rest of your life. It can take on a vast range of tire width sizes, and is prepared for both rack and fender installations. It's agile, durable, and easy to accelerate. It was hybrid of the year, according to Bicycling magazine of 2011. If you get the Coda Comp at $775, it will most certainly prove to be more durable than either of the other two bicycles that you're currently considering. However, you can't lose with those two, either...There all great bikes!
The absolute best hybrid deal of all times on the market right now at the regular MSRP, is the Jamis Coda Elite at your current pricepoint!
The Jamis Coda Elite ~ $1050
