One of the "most asked" questions ever! Check out the following video... as it tries to answer 'which mountain bike" would be right for you, according to your riding style.
cheers!

I'd choose the best one I can afford

Well, most people prefer "kung ano ang uso". They either quit or choose a different one (if they have money)

True that, ha ha ha. Unless you're blessed to be in near a mountain with technical trails, you can pretty much get an off the shelf ht and ride happily. Let's face it, tagaytay or Baguio is pure road. You'd be better with a rigid bike and a carbon handlebar for damping. La mesa you say? Can be done with a rigid. Or even an ht with 80mm fork. Maarat's green trail, I did it with an ht and 120mm fork. But I think I can go rigid on it. Haven't been to blue though.

Maarat's green trail, I did it with an ht and 120mm fork. But I think I can go rigid on it. Haven't been to blue though. i've seen a lot of locals do track reads pre 711 using rigid. so yes literally most if not all of maarat can be traversed with rigid. I've seen a few riders use CX, with proper tires of course get through blue. the way i see it, maarat is a xc natural course and rideable by the simplest MTB (ie entry level built bike that costs +/- 19k at the time of this post). for basekamp, a 100mm HT is more than enough, even on the series of dh drops, table tops, and doubles. i may get flamed here, but honestly, FS is overkill in timberland trails as the features there are mostly pedaling sections than shred ones. on the same trails, i've tested an FS and while it's a blast to push on 'just a few' DH secions, it literally s*cks energy on climbing sections, which is a lot! from a tech POV, slack head angles, long travel HT/FS, while still manageable are at a disadvantage in maarat. let's face it no rider with AM rigs have climbed the maarat podium yet for this specific reason. i know quite a number of riders who traded/sold their AM frames for XC HT ones to give way for a more efficient movement.

If I go to patiis, Baguio (semplang university), tagaytay or Bataan's killer loop, yeah, an AM rig would be the least of my equipment.
Although I'm most likely to get an fs soon, it's more for comfort than traction on the rough stuff ha ha ha.
