Something that will last a few years after taking daily bike rides to/from work (5 miles daily). I like mountain bikes.

I’d go check out a Marin from Legend Bikes if you’re looking to commute daily— you need a bike that’s going to last. If you cheap out now I think you’ll end up spending more money in the long run replacing parts. Just my two cents

Actual mountain bike or just a hybrid with front shocks?

Those used to go new at dicks for like 4 to 500 bucks. As long as you have basic maintenance knowledge and some tools, you should be able to get it to last a while.
