Recomendations for hybrid bike please?

I'm looking for a mid priced hybrid bike and I'd like some recomendations.
The only one I've tried so far is a Trek 7200 FX. It seemed to be pretty
decent but the last time a bought a bicycle Nixon was president so I'm
not at all familiar with the current state of the art. What should I be
looking for. I'll be using it primarily on roads and occasional paths but
never on unpaved trails. I live in a hilly area so that's a consideration.
What are the best bikes in the $400 range (+/- $100). I've tried the Trek
7200 FX, I see from their website that there is a slightly more expensive
model, the 7300 FX, what are it's advantages over the 7200?. What other
bicycles are in this class and what are their various advantages and
disadvantages?.

Thanks,
