It's not actually an expression of your preferences, but rather vague and meaningless generalities
you also want the most generic thing available for purchase.
so any advice leading you to something slightly left field is not helpful to you and ultimately pointless
bike companies generally don't shit the bed on basic spec either
Price a BBSHD kit + battery and then find hardtails you like that you have available for the remaining money and then maybe we can help you on which has marginally better spec or whatever.
But beyond that really if you want to do a generic newfag thing you don't need help.
