Depends on your budget. The carbon fork will give you a lighter bike and will smooth out some of the the bumps. I get nightmares about hitting deep pot holes with my carbon forked bike (lol).
If a smooth ride is important and you can live with a slightly heavier bike (and you're ok with the price range) I would suggest you add the Jamis Coda S1 to your List.
IMO nothing beats a Steel frame bike for a buttery smooth ride......
