If it's from a decent LBS, either will get the job done but I'm a bit partial to "Raleigh's" over Schwinn's as my last serious MTB was a Raleigh Mt. Crested Butte (ridged) hardtail back in 85!!
LOL, I race the old Colorado NORBA Novice MTB series with my son Stephen (he on a 20"/5 speed Ross MTB) and I bounced that poor old bike over a LOT of rock, roots, drops, etc. and like a Timex, It took and lick'in and kept on tick'in!!!
Of course I now ride a "09 Jamis Trail-X 3.0" and for some reason I can't really explain, the "Jamis" just took my eye away from a Raleigh just long enough for my local Jamis LBS to steal the money out of my wallet!
