If she has very long arms, she may not like WSD. They can feel like a scrunched-up clown bike. Don't be afraid to let her try bikes with normal top tube lengths as well.

I'd check out the Cannondale Synapse and Felt's ZW and Z series. I had a ZW entry level for my first ride, and it was a good amount of bang for the buck.
Definitely have her check out both the WSD and non-WSD geometry to see which one feels more comfortable.

If you are looking for a road bike, what about the Jamis Ventura Sport? It's a great starter road bike for not a lot of money. I am buying the Jamis Coda but I like drop bars and want a hybrid which is why the Coda works better for me.
