hola! A bit late to the party, but I chose the XXL based on top tube length to make sure I didn't have to run anything silly like a 130mm stem to get a sensible race bike position. The XL is just a wee bit too short.
Josh Ibbett uses the XL and he's 6'3". I'm 6'4.75" at the last official count. At that size, seat tube length and standover are not an issue, it's just seat post length! This is the only MTB I own where I can get away with only a 330mm seatpost rather than a 400mm post.
Hope that helps?

Mavic C29ssmax wheels look good, full ust and not a bad weight for 29er, 15mm hub though.
Other options could be Easton Havens, alloy or carbon?Also 2012 is offering a sid world cup 29er with a 15mm axle and carbon tapered steerer

If you want the fastest wheels, a set of NoTubes Crest rims should be top of your shopping list. They're a little flexy and improved trail manners can be had with some Flow rims for a teeny weight penalty.
However, the most important difference for handling with a longer 29er fork is a QR15 axle instead of a normal QR
