I have a Giant Escape 3 and it's a pretty good bike. I've had it for about 6 years and have never regretted getting it, but I can't really comment on other bikes since it's the only non-shit bike I've owned.
>>2740938the frame and overall angles of mine aren't too different from this one you posted, but the tires are thinner and closer to road bike tires but more treaded.
it can handle dirt or gravel paths, but I wouldn't take it proper mountain biking. super bumpy areas do get uncomfortable
but yeah, overall Giant has been good in my experience. I really haven't had to do much with it other than basic maintenance and replacing the tires after they wore out.
