From one fat guy from another, I wholeheartedly suggest either a flat bar road bike (makes more sense for riding in traffic), a flat bar cyclocross bike, or a STIFF (as in NO suspension) mountain bike with <0.5 inch wide street tires.
Drop bars are good for being more aerodynamic, sure. but unless you put on something like this, you'll probably want to invest in something with a flat bar so you'll have a better field-of-vision while riding in traffic. I use these kinds of levers on my road bike drop bars and it has made all the difference in the world for dealing with Oakland/Berkeley traffic. I haven't had any problems slowing down or stopping while going down hills at 25+mph... not yet anyway (knock on wood!).
I'd suggest staying away from a hybrid. You'll end up having to work harder than you would on a road or cyclocross bike.
Good luck!
