got most of my spec sorted for my build but really unsure of what axles to go for and dont really undertand the differences.

frame is evil sov, forks hope to be RS revs 140mm, hope pro 2 hubs and stan flow rims.

riding will be mostly trail centre but nothing to extreme and trying to keep it as light as possible. thanks once again

No axle is going to add to the stiffness at the rear, so choose on another reason.

Front end...unless weight is important, which I doubt, or using other wheels, 20mm.

If you've got the option, 142X12 Syntace on the rear.
Or 10mm bolt-thru using normal dropouts and a big fat Superstar QR

for obvs reasons you want to future proof your build (hope hubs for EG) 9mm will surely be fazed out over the next so many years so avoid, anything else is fair game.
