"The best kind of bicycle" is like the best kind of shoes. The best ride
is the one that best fits the rider. Not just your anatomy, but your
style of riding, the places you wish to ride, etc.etc.etc.

The best bet is to "sit down" with someone who knows the sport and the
areas you wish to ride and discuss your wants and needs.
