Haircut Need Suggestions

I need a haircut, BAD! My ends are split, my color is uneven and my hair is breaking :( I'm not good about getting my hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks and it's showing. Everyday this week I've sported the pony because I'm embarrassed I let it get this far (and I think everyone else is too).

These past few weeks I have completely ignored my appearance (which isn't like me) and decided a pony is enough and barely any effort at all is enough. I'm claiming my sickness is what has prompted me to get to this point. Anyways, I now need some sort of guidance on my latest haircut which I'm doing this weekend, strep throat and all. 

I'm at work early waiting for a customer to show, so I'm browsing hairstyles. I need a new holiday do and I promise to keep it up and even schedule my next hair cut at the current appointment :) Now can I get some votes on what I should do?

Here was my last haircut I loved

I had the blond highlights, side bangs and just long enough for my pony :) Now my hair has turned to this:

As you can see, breakage, uneven and just not healthy :(

So here are the top contenders for my new hairstyles. Any advice is much appreciated.

I think I'm going to stay the same color I have, probably a little darker to even it out, but I want something easy to keep up and that doesn't take much effort. With the holidays and starting school I won't have much time to play. Please take a second and let me know your thoughts. Followers, lurkers, people passing through just leave a comment or send me an email and give me your 2 cents. My hair is super straight and fine, but I have alot of hair. ANY thoughts appreciated!!!
