I've done some MTBing in the SW (Devon & a little in Cornwalll) but by no means an extensive amount and could see that some people might need suspension but only in a few places and only when really razzing it.
Personally I'd go rigid and then buy a fork if you feel you need it later. As mentioned above something like an on one + two sets of tyres, you can even set it up single speed to start off with and add gears (and if you really need it suspension) as you get money.
