Both the Stumpy and the Enduro have FSR. It really gets down to how much rough stuff you plan to ride. For lighter xc style the Kona Dawg and Stumpjumper could be good choices. If you think you're going to get into some air, rocks and heavy duty off-trail (not full blown free-ride as in 'it's a bird, it's a plane .... no, it's a crazy maniac on a bike!'
) take a look at the Dawg or Coiler and the Enduro. It largely boils down to going with an xc or all-mountain bike; you kinda' have to pick a primary direction even if you mix it up along the ride.
