I'm not saying that a singlespeed is best for the O.P., but he/she just might dig one. After all the commute in question is just 2.5 miles.
It is more efficient to have gears and suspension if you're going to ride in any sort of 'terrain', not to mention that it's more comfortable which seems like it would be a factor to the OP.
