the 21in RH would be a little too big for you. you will probably have the seat all the way down and you'll be leaning to the front a lot

Throw the stick!!!!
Generally I would say whichever one feels the best. In this case I would emphasize that point. Being your height unless you have some freakish body type I really think the Rockhopper is going to be too big. What sucks is the Kona may be too small, however when between sizes always take the smaller frame.

thanks for the responses guys. The story kind of goes like this; I actually already own the Spec. My roommate got his bike stolen, so was looking at some bikes on craigslist. He came across the kona a girl was selling who said she was in need of quick cash. She had 500 obo, and my roommate was thinking if I liked the bike, that he just buy it, and then we could trade. He's 6'1. The chick is selling it becasue its too big for her, and she downsized and upgraded. It seems like a perfect pre-owner becasue she really didnt seem the type to beat her bike(pretty small girl) and she kept talking about always keeping it inside and such. It also looked like it was pretty well taken care of, just with some miles on it. It felt pretty damn heavy though.
Im still torn between the two bikes.
