This thread scares me with all the know it all's trying to help a new rider who may not know better.
Bottom line is that all the bikes you mentioned will do what you want them to do and that is to get you on the road for a fairly small investment. Find a shop you like and trust and ride all the bikes in question and see which one you like the best. My first road bike was the Allez and I had no complaints but I know the Felt , Giant or Trek would have done me just as well
