Mountain bikers, please help me pick a bike!

This is actually one of the bikes I'm considering. The pedals won't be a problem since I'd just use my clipless ones with it (if I were to get it). Hydrolic or mech brakes?
 
That Trek has hydro's, if I can tell correctly from the picture. On a semi related note, for an '06 Specialized Enduro for $350 on craigs the other day, if the guy ever replies its gonna be my graduation present woo stokage.
 
The Mamba comes with hydraulic disk brakes. They are so sick..responsive as hell, specially when going fast. I definitely recommend that bike, I've had mine for about a month now. All the parts on the bike are real solid..I originally was going for the Trek Marlin which is like 600 or less but decided to get the next model up. (and the white paint on the Mamba job is fresh)

Upgrades from Marlin

RockShoxXC32 suspension fork

Shimano 9-speed Alivio & Deore drivetrain

Bontrager 29-3 tires

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes

-Main difference being the disc brakes..most expensive upgrade from the Marlin

 
Yea i saw that when I was ordering my bike. It was starting to get ridiculous, there's always a better model up so I said fuck it and got the Mamba.
 
Haha it's always like "well what I I spent 100 more..." I think the mamba or cadia (if the used one for 900 is still around) would be good options. I'd hav to negotiate the cadia down thoughe
 
I'm looking at singlespeed 29ers now, what do you guys think of this?http://www.morcmtb.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2523&title=jamis-dragon-one-single-speed&cat=2
