Triple clamp na ba gusto mo? Because if you're not into pure DH, it would be better to have a long travel single crown fork like a MZ 66RC or a Totem perhaps....just my two cents

A lot really depends on what you mean by "trail friendly" and "Freeride". If you're going to be using the bike for trail riding, you don't want the monster double crown DH forks, especially if you'll be climbing, as just about all trail rides require. These forks are made to be DH-specific and are very heavy; they also tend to raise the front of the bike high enough to make climbing difficult.
You also need to consider the frame that the fork will be installed on: what kind of travel is it designed for? Is it designed for double crown forks? Installing a double crown fork on a frame designed for single crown forks may void your waranty.
Also think about your riding style... it's easy to say "freeride", but will you really be doing big drops? If not, you may be paying extra and carrying extra weight for strength you don't really need.
Lots of good long-travel single crown forks out there... look for Marzocchi Z1 if you want a more trail oriented fork that can still handle some pretty rough stuff, 66 if you want something with more travel, weight, and beef. Fox 36 if you have money to burn. Rock Shox Totem and Lyric, but they are kind of new, not much feedback yet on performance. Some Manitoux as well: Nixon and some others, don't know much about those but worth doing some research.
Just remember that the "best fork" is the one that fits the way you ride!

I had a Junior T before, but replaced it with a 66 because I use the same bike on any type of trail climbing or DH. I also prefer the single crown on DH specially on switchbacks. Anyway, if you have another rig for XC, than a double crown would be fine.
