Depends on your goals with her. My wife wanted to ride the MUP with me & baby trailer, maybe commute. She picked a very upright 27 speed town bike, after a lot of test rides, including nicer hybrids. In the process she did get a liking for trigger shifters and it made me regret this sort of bike can't be bought with a premium drivetrain, but whaddyagonnado. The more expensive ones this style are no better to ride, just more fashionable.
If I were a roadie and wanted her to join me on training rides if absolutely encourage her to get a drop bar bike.
