help choosing a hybrid

Hi
I'm very new to this and looking to get my first adult bike!. Though I can't use a bike to commute as I need a car for work this section seems the best place to ask as I think it's a hybrid I'm looking for. I plan to ride on the country roads around my village for fitness/ leisure and in a few years going out on rides with my kids. I'd anticipate the odd gravel path hence looking for a hybrid. Having spent a couple of months searching gumtree and ebay I can't find anything local to me that would fit (I'm 5 foot and need a 14 or 15 inch frame).
I'm fed up waiting and have narrowed my thoughts down to the following:
http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... brid-bikes
or is the higher spec model worth the extra cash, especially as it is discounted?
http://www.ukbikesdepot.com/m18b109s18p ... Frame_2012
or is this raleigh one just as good (I like the price!)?
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... 65534#tab2
Or is there likely to better deals if I wait until a bit later in the year? I'd hugely appreciate any words of wisdom/ thoughts on these options anyone can throw my way.
thanks
