Hi
You probably wont get many answers because:
1 -you post in HTML (post in plain text)
2 -you provide data which are unreadable (copy output of dput(yourdata) instead)
3 -you ask statistical question which are rarely answered here (they are better
suited to stackexchange list)
Regarding your models nothing prevents you to test any of them - lm, glm, ...
Or go through some available documents on CRAN like e.g.
Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics - Introduction, Examples and Commentary?
by John Maindonald (PDF, data sets and scripts are available at JM's
homepage).
?Practical Regression and Anova using R? by Julian Faraway (PDF, data sets and
scripts are available at the book homepage).
among many others to learn how to use R for modelling.
Cheers
Petr
