If you go with the FS for that then you are relying on the bicycle itself, by using an HT you learn to use the best shocks out there; your own legs. And if your doing half paved FS wills low you down becuase of pedal bob. HT is more efficient, im not throwing stones @ FS but each thing serves its own purpose.
