Again, I'm a complete bike noob.. Feel free to offer your advice..
Commute (one-way) is 7 miles.

Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about bikes. My buddies are really into it and they both ended up with Gary Fishers after doing their research. They both did mention Trek's are very very good especially once you start to drop some coin. Neither really use their bikes for commuting to work though, just for some weekend warrior activities.
Sorry I can't be more help
