If you could get the STP down to $700 you could use the little bit of saved money to make a few upgrades. What will you be really using it for?

Yeh the 2nd hand stp seems to be the go. The other bikes which are brand new dont have as durable parts as the stp and would have to upgrade/fix things when you progress.. plus the stp is just generalbly more oriented for what your doing. Go get it!

Probably the Stp2 but then you join everyone in the world who seems to own a STP. I know they are a good bike, but it's nice to see some different bikes about.

Derelict's have had some reliablity issues, with broken frames, etc. Giant and GT have some good bikes under the 1000 mark, but you'll do much better if you look secondhand. Just make sure there are no cracks in the frame, and give it a good going over before you agree to buy.
