Definitely go to a bike shop, as they should be able to repair anything they sell. A coworker of mine learned the hard way that that may not be the case for a department store bike. I commuted happily for years on both a Trek and a Norco, the features I found most useful were a rear rack, fenders, disc brakes, puncture proof tires, and no suspension.
Disc brakes add some $$, but are worth it if you have long descents or regularly wet weather. Don't be afraid of rim brakes, though, if you are a fair weather biker.
