It's kind of tough to answer this question without more information. In particular it would help to know: How much do you want to spend? Does the car have to be a new car? How many miles per year do you drive? What are the most important features of the car?
To me, when considering a small car, safety has to come first. The 2006 Civics come with Antilock Brakes, front-row side airbags, and side-curtain airbags as standard equipment even on the base DX. The 2007 Fit also comes standard with Antilock Brakes, front-row side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. However the 2006 Civic has been tested by the Insurence Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and has received the highest rating ("Good") for both front-offset and side-impact tests. The IIHS hasn't yet published any test results for the Fit.
Appearance is a personal thing, and you'll have to make your own choice. However, I think the Civic looks great - one of the best looking compact cars ever made. The Fit looks very odd.
Just considering safety and appearance alone, I declare the 2006 Civic the easy winner. The difficult decision to be made is Sedan vs. Coupe. The Coupe looks a little better, but getting things in and out of the backseat becomes such a pain with a coupe; I'm single and live alone, but the backseat is used all the time as extra cargo space. I would choose a 2006 Civic Sedan and would seriously consider the Hybrid.
I currently own a 2005 Honda Accord EXL with a 2.4 Liter engine and automatic transmission, and I love it.

There all good. Civic's are great cars, my mom has one and it handles great.
The Fit is really just an update on the Honda Civic 2-door hatchback.
The best one for you just depends on the look you want and how much money you can spend.
Personally, I was looking at the FIT a few weeks ago. But I really like hatchbacks.
I didn't end up getting though because it was a little out of my price range. I also found the dashboard to be kind of high.

They are all excellent. If you need a Sunroof and upgraded speakers, get the EX model. If you want bare bones, including only A/C, Power Windows and locks, and CD only, get the LX.
If you have to buy new, look at the Toyota Corolla. Less expensive, as reliable as the Honda, and you get more for your money.

Anything Honda is good. I have a Civic and it's been great!

If this is a first car for a teenager I would get one of the biggest cars I could find, A small car = more injuries if involved in a accident.

Depends on the year and how much you want to spend. There are a lot of older Accords running around that are still really strong. That's what I would look at. Good luck!!
