If I had to choose, it would be a Sugar.

I know a couple people that ride them. They love'em. They told me they ride
nice and firm, and not spongy like a lot of full suspensions.

So you haven't ridden one, and would vote it the best?

I own a Sugar, and even I know better than that.

At a recent bike festival, I test rode both a Team Sugar model and
also one of the Sugar + models (can't remember which specific model).
Both bikes did ride wonderfully, without a hint of bob, but as
discussed here many times, I also witnessed at least 3 other riders
along the trail that same day with chain suck problems, something that
seems to be inherent with Gary Fisher bikes.

How the heck would a particular model bike create/cause chainsuck? I always
thought it was because of worn chainrings.

Not always, although that is the most common cause. Sometimes it's
caused by problems in design, manufacture, or chainline. The Bontrager
cranks are reknowned for this problem and I believe they're fitted to
the Sugars. And let's not start on the Sugar's tendency to snap...

I think the Sugar is a very good bike, and for where I ride, how I ride, and
who I am I think it's a great bike...but that doesn't mean Intense Spiders
or Tracers, Turner Burners, or even a SC Blur wouldn't feel a bit better.
The difference that made me go with Fisher? About $1500.

They break?! Why are they breaking?
