Okay,

I have yet to see a full-suspension trials bike without a motor.

Check out the Ryan Leech section of Progression.

You have not said what type of riding you plan to do.
If it is downhill racing , full suspension is definately the way to
go.
A small lump at high speed that the suspension could have absorbed
will be enough to throw you off with a hard tail.

For slow speed descents totally under control a hard tail should give
better control but in most cases their will be a steep section or jump
that you will have to drop down and suspension will help here

You are correct. I am a slower descent'er, so hardtail probably is
better for me. I'm more XC but aggressively, than a DHer.
