Best bike for Moab?

I am heading out to Moab in the summer and have decided that I will just rent a bike when I get there.
However, I am stuck as to which bike will be the better choice from this list, Santa Cruz Blur LT, Santa Cruz Nomad, Titus Moto Lite, Ellsworth Epiphany, 2008 Chumba XCL. Those are the options that I have available to chose from when renting from Moab Cyclery.
Or if I rent from Poison Spider Bicycles I could rent a Trek Remedy 7, Koan Dawg, Felt Virtue 2 or a Compulsion 3, or for a little more a Yeti 575 or a Intense 5.5.
There are so many choices and I am not sure whether a harder hitting bike is needed or if a lower 4" to 5" bike will be more than ample enough.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Yea I remember they did an article on Moab, sadly I can't go back and check the issues as they are all back in the UK. sigh. But will put some thought into that as I was sure that they had suggested something with a bit more travel too.
But yea, should be good,
Any one else there in mid May?0
