As @pastry_bot said, you have to get a bike for your use case.
Are you riding to the trail/gravel on road? i.e 30%+ of your ride is road/some path. Get XC.
Dumb generalisation. 30%+ or my ride is to and from the trails on roads. But no way I want to ride the trails I’m on with a 100 mm xc bike.
Partly because I suck, but also that would suck.
