This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.

A little more detail about the sort of riding you do would help here, but I'd guess, given the detail you've given that a hybrid based on a cyclocross frame, with an internal hub might be a good fit. This will keep your maintenance costs down a bit and may (may) look a bit less attractive to thieves. A built off the peg option of this sort that I've been looking at is the Genesis Day 01 with Shimano's Alfine group (http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/cross/day-01/day-01-alfine), it has disc brakes, and can be had with either drop or flat bars.

But again, hard to tell for sure if this is right without a bit more detail as to your typical usage.
