based on the OP's purpose for buying the bike (grocery/getting around) i'd would suggest that a road bike is not a good choice - he would be better off with a hybrid bike (beefier than a roadie, but not as heavy as a mtn bike).
out of those bikes #1 seems like an ok choice - i would not recommend a full suspensioon bike unless you are willing to spend $1,500.
be warned that those folks in charge of roads on ontario like to use salt, bikes do not like salt. learn how to take care of your ride to ensure that it is not a rusty mess by christmas...
