Suspension Travel Ratio

Right now I ride a single-pivot bike with 5" of real wheel and 4" of front wheel travel. Looking at things like Monster T's on RM7's, I see a general freeride trent to have bigger travel in the front -- extreme examples of this would be like dual crown forks on hardtails. The next bike I get is probably going to be 6.5" rear and 5.3" front, and I was just wondering about anyone's opinon concerning a front to back travel ratio. It seems to me that more travel in the front comes in to play more often, and I want to see what everyone else thinks. Comments?
