Modern expensive forks have a lot of adjustment which is rarely taken advantage of :-)
This is the same jizzm as the motorbike world for me. Offer up a vastness of options (hi/lo/fast/slow) at blinding prices, for the masses with little understanding of two wheeled dynamics.
I've barely scratched that surface with multiple motorcycles. Guess what's big these days? Active suspension. Lo and behold, FOX releases the same for bicycles.Anyway, I digress. Mattoc and Helm look like really underrated options.

Standard response used to be 'just get a Reba/Revelation/Yari ( depending on level of gnar, as they were about the right level of not cheap, but without unnecessary extras
I currently have a Cane Creek Helm MK1, which was on offer when the MK2 came out. Previously I had an X-Fusion fork which worked well, considering you couldn't really adjust anything other than the rebound
The Manitou Mattoc Pro was a very good deal while it lasted
Still prefer a rigid fork most of the time, though I expect that's more a reflection of my riding
