disc vs v-brakes

update:

I didn't look around a whole lot, and after some guidance from a mechanic, this is what I settled on. I pick it up tomorrow. http://www.brodiebikes.com/2016/bikes/energy.php I like that it's a local company. (I haven't gone to forums to post things so I forgot how to embed the links!)

I didn't want to spend a whole lot because I'm not into competing or riding around excessive amounts of miles, but I DO ride my bike often enough, so why cheap out?? My bike was expensive when I got it almost 20 years ago, so why should this time around be any different (I'm actually spending less on this new one, so taking inflation into consideration, I guess I'm cheapening out! lol). At the end of the day, I just want to be able to enjoy riding a bike again because mine is so uncomfortable.

I'll update again once I've ridden around the new one for a while. Thanks for the inputs!
