I have an old Transition Vagrant (Freeride/DoItAll HT). It doesn't climb all that well and is pretty heavy for whats basically XC.
I think DH would be the most fun but around here its all XC trails, and all the good DH sections you have to climb first.
I haven't been looking very hard but the Specialized StumpJumper FSR seems nice but really expensive, I think I should probably be looking at used for my price range anyways.
