Save your money for a full suspension bike, or at least rent/borrow a hard tail to see if you like it.
I did this, and ended up trying a hard tail. I didn't like it compared to the fat bike, but it was a cool experience.
Depends a lot on the trail as mentioned above of course. The fat bike is a safe bet for most situations imo
