First off, as with all things, It depends on your budget! So if you give us an idea of that we could help a bit.
There are tons of great hybrid options and the features essentially scale to the miles you'll ride it. When I was looking a found the Giant Escape like and the Trek FX line to be a great combination of features/price. Specialized had some nice offerings too but it was mid-covid when bikes were hard to come by, and I never got to try one in my size. Trek had a (very) slight edge on components at the time, but Giant uses slightly larger tires which makes a much bigger difference than you'd think for bumps.
I looked at both and ultimately went with the Trek FX 3 and I love it. I've had it going on two years now and I've put about two thousand miles on it so far.
