go with a rigid fork they are pretty inexpensive...and if you are riding on the road 80% of the time you will appreciate the rigid front end. if you end up wanting some more cushion then run some big fat slicks like the bontrager big hanks or semi slicks like the kenda krad or maxxis holy roller. I run the kenda k-rads(1.95") on my around town SS MTB and I really like them so far.
