Me, the answer's in the screenname. I like Specialized's air/oil FSX fork. To me, its only drawback is the lack of a negative spring, and the relatively frequent need to replace the 2 orings on each leg. Cheap, but somewhat time consuming.

I've found them to be durable (22 years old now...), predictable, wonderfully tunable, well damped. Oh, and maintainable, with industry standard seals. And, under 1200g.

For me by far, the original Marz Z1, for sure a game changer in it's time...
I remember those times very well...I used to have a 1998 yellow Judy SL that I was very proud of and a friend of mine just received a Z1 Bam...it was just something else !
 
Re:

The oldest forks I've actually tried, other than rigid, are the set of 2007 Rock Shox Rebas on my "new bike".

I've no idea how well, or badly they perform, but I've always liked the look of Girvin and Noleen forks:

Anyone tried them?
