A little bit of research ;
What year you go for will make a big difference. The best performing fork will be Rock Shox SID but you’ll pay for the privilege.
Up to 1997 forks were elastomers. 1998 was oil and dampeners and Air forks really taking shape shortly after.
If you’re OK with something as late as 2002 then the Marzocchi Marathon seems like a decent bet without the budget of the Rock Shox
