i read a lot of decent things in the 29er forum on the zion even though they are cheap. it is a simple no frills frame.
I don't have that much knowledge about mountain frames (road frames I know) and got overwhelmed by everything I found on the web. It's everyone's opinion I'm looking for, helps to weed out the trash.
I also prefer horizontal dropouts to EBB's but I have no real preference beyond being able to work with disks.
