Thats a tough one. The rockhopper has a better fork, but the Caldera has better brakes. My vote is on the Kona, only just.

The rockhopper has a really nice fork, however it really depends whether you want hydraullic or mechanical brakes. I will also recommened the Caldera.

I'd go the hopper.
I think the bb5's will be good enough.
Or see what the shop will give you for the mz-2 and upgrade on the spot. Then its no question, kona.
