Sounds like there was a problem with your wheels. I'm a little over 200 now (have been close to 300) and I've ridden 32 spoke wheels on a road bike for 13 years before I finally broke a spoke last summer. After having the shop replace the spoke its been fine.
Any well made bike should work just fine for you. I'd suggest deciding what kind of bike you want and then seeing what is available from an LBS that you trust.
