Want some suspension forks after riding hardtail rigid for a while...they need to be tapered steerer and around £300+ 100-120mm travel.They're going on a Cotic Soul mk3.May upgrade front hub so not sure about axle size,9mm QR at the moment.

What would be some obvious suggestions...?

For that price I'd probably go for a set of Reba RLT from Merlin. The 2012 ones are 300 and the 2013 ones are 350.

Double edit: They're all 1 1/8th straight steerer, but you can always stick a reducer in there or get a new bottom cup.

If you want to go the Fox route [url= http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/fox-racing-shox-32-float0-fit-rlc-11-8andquot-black-id74198.html ]these[/url] are really very nice. Bought a pair a few weeks now, dialled in nice and easy and are plusher than a down filled pillow.

The Reba's from Merlin are great forks too - pays your money takes you pick and all that.

Cheers
