I added to my post, but if you go Mountain bike look at 29ers or 27.5 at the smallest.
A good 29er is night and day difference. By good I dont mean some ridiculous $4k bike but something in the $800-1,2k range will usually be good enough for normal use.
As for mountain bike vs road, I guess it just depends on your area really.
There are also what they call gravel bikes. They are a road bike like set up with larger offroad tires. You can use them both on and off road. They call them cyclocross or gravel bikes.
