If your just starting out get a good $200. bike from Craingslist and see if you really like riding. If not, you can resell it for the same money.

Go for the Cannondale. I'd recommend a Moto Carbon 1. Kind of ugly, but supposed to be a cool bike.

From the bike fairy. The more you believe, the better the bike he gives you.

pablosnazzy says "get whichever is more expensive" and rodeopunk_je87 adds saying "one thing I've learned when it comes to MTN bikes, is that you get what you pay for" And now I'm confused as you suggested get the cheapest one!

I don't know much about Schwinn's lineup. I rode a friend's Schwinn Mesa once. That was an ok, entry-level bike. Is that what you're after, an entry-level bike?
If there are some bike shops near you, why not visit them and see what they have in your price range. Test ride a few models. See what you think. Visiting some shops is probably the best way to get a sense of the possibilities.
Keep to a reasonable budget. Don't get drawn into spending more than you can afford.

This is totally what I did. The first bike was an older HardRock that was too big for me that I bought off Craigslist. Now the bike that I'm riding is a '99 Trek 6500 that I also got off Craigslist which fits much better. The next bike that I get will definitely be coming a LBS.

That's not what he's referring to. He quoted M_S's "Just get the cheapest one they have. Make sure to haggle. Prices are just 'suggestions', really." and he responded with both the my "you get what you pay for" and Pablosnazzy's "get whichever is more expensive" quotes. That's what he meant was confusing.
