Anything with the name Shimano on it works well. The more expensive you go, the better it gets. Don't shy away from Tourney, if the rest of the bike is a good deal. MHO
I agree. If you're going to ride on paved roads, a suspension adds weight, doesn't necessarily make the ride better and can actually drain energy. They also add cost in most cases. If you're going to be riding off road, yes, a suspension works.
Will you be riding in the rain? If not, disk brakes may not be necessary. They too add weight and cost.
