I was going to mention a suspension corrected rigid fork. The only reason I didn't was that the OP didn't sound receptive to that. Now that a few people mentioned not needing suspension, I will say that it really isn't a necessity for the kind of use he is talking about. The fat-ish tires offer some cushion for the small stuff and your legs (and arms) offer suspension for the bigger stuff. You can ride any terrain without suspension that you can with, unless you are talking big air, downhill racing, or something.
I figure that the suspension fork is actually likely to be more of a detriment than a help for his intended usage. All that said, the rider likes what they like, so he may choose something that may not make sense to the rest of us and be happy with it.
