My Suggestions (top to bottom for priority)
1. FX 7.3 - Fitness feel. The 35mm tires should be smooth, not sure how much larger you'd want.
2. DS 8.3 - Also good, but the suspension will add weight and likely overkill for your uses.
3. Verve 3 - Has a more upright ride, some people like it, some don't. My dad rides and enjoys this bike the most.
4. Marlin 6 - Overkill for your use and you'll be cussing the wide tires when on pavement.
