I race both road and CX, and used to race mountain bikes so can talk (endlessly) about the various merits and drawbacks of all 3! A CX bike is a great all round choice and perfect for commuting as; - the geometry is more upright (relaxed) than a road bike. - its typically geared down (i.e. gearing is somewhere between a road and mountain bike) - components are more durable (many CX bikes are equipped with mountain bike components) - it will probably be cheaper than a road bike. As others have said, its really a matter of what you plan to use the bike for.
