Which application? xc? fr? dh? trails?
90% of the time I would pick marzocchi. Fox is ok but to expensive for what the offer.

Still kicking.
If money is no option, get a fox. If it is an option get a marzocchi.

I had a real hard time for this, for a do all fork I would either choose a Fox 36, a Rock Shox Pike or a marzocchi 66RC or their top Z1Fr. I chose bomber because I have one.
However the fork I think is the best and the fork I'd take are two different things.

I've been doing research because I'll be buying a higher-end XC-style fork next year and had setttled on:
- Fox F100 RLT or Fox F100 X
- Marzocchi Marathon SL or Marzocchi Marathon XC
You get a lot of reviews over at MTBR.com saying how the Fox forks are fantastic except that they keep leaking oil.
Meanwhile the Marzocchi's have nothing but great praise.
The Fox may be a better fork but at what price? It costs more, there's a chance you'll have to send it in for warranty repair (3-6 weeks!!!).
Not sure how the XC fork experience translates to FR/DJ forks but I know that I will probably get a Marzocchi.

What would you choose:
Trek, Giant, or Specialized?
Chevy, Ford, or Dodge?
Applebees, TGIFridays, or Chili's?
Bud Light, Miller Light, or Coors Light?
The question is way too general. All make various products designed to do the same thing, some doing it better than others, but not as a rule across an entire brand.
So, if you like McDonalds better than Burger King and Wendy's, that's fine. But they're all gonna give you the craps.
