What is your intended use for this bike? It sounds like maybe you're looking for a general bike to get you around, in which case a MTB is likely not what you need, and if you're really set on a MTB, those still wouldn't be good choices for get-around bikes. In any case, what type of riding do you plan to do with it?
If you plan to hit some real MTB trails, trust us, a new lower end bike isn't going to be a better choice than a good condition used bike with better components(particularly the fork).

I'd suggest doing some more research here, just since you said it's the only thing you really know about bikes. That's definitely not the case. I prefer steel for a road bike (as do MANY others, including some high end racers) and aluminum for a MTB (again, as do MANY others). I pretty much want nothing to do with carbon other than some nice/light components on my road bike.
