My "mtb" is a GT from 94. I plan on using it as a touring rig now that I don't do offroad anymore.

I chose "other" because I mostly ride your mother.

Motobecane (2009 29er Outcast single speed)...
Before that it was a 2005 Specialized Hardrock and before that a 2007 Gary Fisher Wahoo...
I also had a Haro for a week or two, but sold it.

Anyway, I wound up with a 2010 GT Avalanche 1.0, which was my original choice to begin with when I started searching for a new, reasonably priced mountain bike. I'm real happy with it.

Still kicking.
I'm not all that surprised by the lack of giant owners.

I just picked up a 2010 Novara Ponderosa 29 two weeks ago. Slapped some shimano 520 spd's on last night. Went out to Avalon (patapsco state park, MD) today and had a freakin' blast. Near the end of the ride we found a bridge suitable for jumping and cooled down before finishing out the ride.
My Jamis Aurora is going to be collecting dust this summer. Tis' a shame.

I tested out a lot of bikes in the $800 dollar area before I bought my bike. I tested 19.5"-20.5" frame sizes and this is how I felt:
In that price range, components were all very similar.
Treks looked good but felt very upright and very small
Gary fishers looked silly as heck but felt much better.. more stretched out
Giants looked great, felt really good, handled really well
This is just how I felt with my specific body size and only one year of riding under my belt
I ride a Giant and probably will in the future
still never tried a spech though!

I chose "other" because I ride a Kona.
