The best bike is the one that makes you want to ride it every time you see
it. Best bet is to find a shop that has samples of each that you can ride,
in the right size and set up similarly, and see what you think. I'm partial
to Trek carbon fiber, but since I make a living selling them (huge numbers
of them at that), you should consider me totally biased and an entirely
unreliable source of information. :>)
Nevertheless, I've written an article on our website that's entirely brand &
material neutral, designed to help people evaluate different bikes they're
looking at. You can find it at www.ChainReaction.com/roadbiketestrides.htm.
