If it were me I'd be inclined to go for a 120mm Maxle Reba.

And loving them.
Best forks I've ever ridden on.
Way, way more ability than I have & consequentially have saved my ass more times than I care to remember.

Probably the biggest factor is how much moolah you have. I put Air u-turn Revs ('07 model) on my Soda, and run them at 130mm. However, if you have more wodge then you might want to check out some of the '09 offerings - Rebas at 120mm with Maxle Light, Revs with Maxle, wound in to 130 or less, or even Magura Thors. But they are quite a lot of green, so it depends....

reba 120mm ta or minute tpc 120mm ta - the soul is best at 120mm, the end! honestly!

IMO its a waste of a pike by sticking it on a xc frame

Me and Paul use 100mm forks (Menja 100 for me, Pike Dual Air spaced down for him). If you've got some steep techy climbs around, go shorter than 130mm. It's ace on the downs, but the compromise is in the steeps. Of that lot, probably coil Rev wound down. Stiff enough, and lighter than Pikes.
