I ride a Specialized Hardrock sport...It rides like a 1976 Dodge Power wagon 4x4...But I love it...Really, you just need to go to bike shops and test ride some models...It is very much like cars...I have also toured on Raleigh and Schwinn -- before Schwinn went all department store on us :| -- and all rode well...But it does boil down to personal preference...Trek is also a popular model that you will encounter.

Have a good ride!

Take a look at the Jamis Coda Sport.  Steel w/ very similar specs to their Aurora touring bike.

After about 20 years of upright riding with a modified hybrid Diamondback Lakeside as an all-around touring/commuting bike, I just ordered a new customized Surly Cross-Check today.  Might be worth looking into for you,
