If you have any luck at all like mine....
you will buy the cheaper bike that you could get, even though you really sorta, kinda, inaway, wanted the other one, but just couldn't pony up the extra $150.00.
Then, the first time you go out, you hit a tree, but one of your brakes, rip a derailleur off, or blow out a rim. You now have to pay for the repair/replacement of said part that you broke, thus reducing the savings you just got on the bike. Personally, I like the Trek EX out of that group, the Specialized is similar to the Trek, while I only know Haro from my younger days. You will be happy with any of the three.
Ride all three (or however many) and ask yourself this:
1.) Which one felt the best.
2.) Which one makes me want to ride it.
3.) Which one am I staring at the most.
4.) Which shop did I feel most comfortable working with?
These four questions will guarantee you will get the right bike (at that moment) for you. If they are all close in price, then components will be close. Oh, and check warranty.
Good luck, and post a pick when you decide! :thumbsup:
