Hard tail is ok.
Without knowing what you are currently riding, it is hard to know what will be faster handling. If you are riding a beach cruiser on the trials, any real mtb is going to be a massive improvement in appropriate handling.
Any XC or Trail oriented Hardtail is going to handle on single track trails pretty well.
Though you don’t specify what you mean by “trails”.
