Stay away from the cheap walmart bikes.

I doubt that the stock forks on the Trek/Specialized bikes that you're looking at will be setup for your weight and I don't think that they can be upgraded with heavier duty springs to a suit your weight.

Trek actually does have a 300lb weight limit on their mountain bikes.

You need to be looking at the following forums.
