If you want to stay in an Alpine area, then don't go to Bern.
Lauterbrunnen is on the valley floor, it gives you views up the mountains and makes it the easiest to travel around the region with less train/cable car transfers overall.
If you want to stay uphill, Mürren and Wengen are your option. Wengen (1230m) has better infrastructure and better hotels. Mürren is higher (1643m), and requires you to go down the valley then up if you want to visit Kleine Scheidegg, Jungfraujoch, Mannlinchen

For scenery and hiking and mountains I would definitely rule out Bern. As for Lauterbrunnen - do you want to stay in the valley, or do you want to stay up in the mountains (Wengen). Both are very nice places. I prefer Murren myself which is in the alps on the opposite side of the valley from Wengen. You will not be disappointed in any of the these places (Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Wengen) because they are all beautiful.
