I agree with the two additional posts. I like the less expensive RockShox for this conversion. Very Good brand, but the XC30 is budget priced. OP, be sure to check the head on that bike that it is a 1 1/8 head. Your steel framed Rockhopper with a rigid fork didn't show up in bike pedia, (steel is there but with a sus fork) but that source isn't always accurate. Before you do anything, confirm the size of that head.
Hope all the information we've added here helps.
