Ultimate FS All-mountain.......

I'm looking for recommendations for the best full suspension all-mountain/trail bike. I've been looking around and have some ideas but want to hear some outside input from someone who isn't a salesperson. Here are the limitations of what I'm looking for

No more than 5 inches of travel
Efficient climbing a absolute must
Frame only
Must be able to take all day abuse from a 210-250 lbs rider
Hopefully 30lbs or less built up, no more than 32lbs

I'm not looking for a more freeride styled bike, most of what I do is fast XC with some tough, fast downhill sections, and I tend to beat on parts, so I want somthing reliable. What do you think I should get?
