At 5'9" you should be good to go.....
...on most cruisers that I've seen. But again, actually trying is believing. One thing I have noticed in newbees is that they ride bikes that are too small to ride comfortably. Almost straight leg with a slight bend in the knee when the pedal is is the lowest position is what you should be aiming for.
Be sure to tell us what you get when you make your final decision.
