Add my vote for a 90's vintage hybrid. Super versatile and they just never got much respect, so you can pick them up for cheap. In my family we have a Trek 720 and a Diamondback Approach. Dedicated touring bikes are great but tend to be more expensive. Classic bikes from the 60's-80's are cooler, but generally more expensive and less practical.
