I'd choose the hardtail 🙂

I'd go full sus. IMO being able to sit and spin is going to be better over that sort of distance than weight saving or efficiency.

just done 20 miles on big bouncy bike........100mm hardtail for the big trip i think.... 😕
lightweight short travel full suss on 650b+
my first instinct would be the hardtail.
Fatbike.
probably help if you said where you were going...
Both sound perfect for 2 very different rides
Motorbike?

Surely you've ridden them both and can make your own mind up?

Knowing Ton he's already made his mind up, he's just asking what YOU'D choose!
Neither
Terrain dependants really, where are you riding? How techy?
Personally I'd take my krampus with a bluto up front on chronicles.

Very inspirational, I'm sure the OP is gratified by your input.
I bet you wish you had a shorter travel FS Ton!
Whatever you have. I just took my transition bandit 650km over 8 days around the gravel roads of the Icelandic interior.
If I had to buy a new bike for it, I couldn't have afforded the trip.
Neither of those will be any good, you definitely need a new bike.
