What sort of travel you after?
Avoid Marzocchis between 2005 and 2010. They moved production to China and it went way down hill. They have since moved it back to Italy and apparently its very good again now.
Ive heard very very good things about Marzocchi 66's and they should give you about 180mm of travel. Finding some that are only 1 1/8 though will prove a challenge as most are now 1.5 or 1 1/8 tapered which is no use to us lot with older style frames
Apparently Cane Creek have released a head set for a 1 1/8 head tube that actually allows a tapered fork but you have to discount 10mm of travel for it to keep your original geometry and how good it is, i really dont know but generally CC stuff is fairly good.
