Best to get something that feels most comfortable for you. If you do that and are comfortable with what you are paying then you're never really going to go that wrong. Specialized and Giants use different frame sizes so that's something to watch if you're buying on-line. Definitely test ride a bike before you buy and if you live in a flat pick it up and carry it as part of the test - I've lived in too many top floor flats to make that mistake again! I've had a Specialized and a Giant and love them both and have heard no end of praise for GTs. Carreras from Halfords might also be an idea if you're just wanting a hack bike but they tend to be a bit heavier than other brands (same for Edinburgh bikes' own brands). Trek do some very nice bikes too.
Aah, buying a new bike - it's such fun!
