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...
If he is just riding around town an older cro moly roadie with a couple of panniers on the back would be my choice.
