For me rougher road rides are best tamed with a good steel or titanium frame, really wide and more supple tires and maybe a little flex in the seatpost (granted I use the Thomson posts a lot and those are stiffer). Full Suspension bikes are excellent for mountain biking where I want to be on all the time but on the road full suspension is a lot of wasted energy bouncing around and honestly that ain't for me.
If I were to need more than that I would add a Kinekt seatpost and be in comfort city.
