it has been said that 65 is good trail for trade off between stability/agility. I have been riding 71 trail on my damp and enjoying amazing stability at high speed, eg I don't feel vulnerable riding over the ball, mallets, getting bars snagged on fences/players at relatively high speeds (to a degree).
I have aimed for 65 trail on my Marino to try out more maneuverability in tight corners. There are lots of other things to take into account though, stem length and bar width will change everything also.
