Hello,
I am looking to upgrade to a full suspension bike. I would like something that's all mountain. I mostly ride trails but I do some downhill. I'm looking to keep this bike under $1,200. I've tried looking on craigslist but I don't want to buy a stolen bike and you can't really find a bike over 20". I currently ride a 21" trek mamba. I'm 5'10" but as a women my height is all in my legs. I have a 36" in seam. I could get away with a 20" bike but nothing smaller.
Here are the best choices i've been able to find online. I've also been looking at LBS but haven't found anything in my budget. my best hope is a close out deal.

Are Diamondback and GT good brands. Any bike I buy online would have to be assembled by my LBS so i'm not too worried on the build. If I buy on amazon i can spend a little more because I have there credit card and get pretty good discounts with it.
Also I know to look for rock shox and fox for the shocks what are the other component brands I should get.
Thank for in advance for your help.
