More Forking Questions!

Ok, I'll try and be brief.
I own a 2010 Rockhopper SL.
Ride trails and do a few small jumps but nothing crazy.
I want to upgrade the forks from Dart 3s.
Looking at Rebas and SIDs in the region of 300-350.
Would these be reasonable?
What sort of travel should I / could I get.
Is 100mm OK or should I be looking at 120mm? Or more?
I didn't realise how many options there are.
Any advice would be appreciated. (PS I have posted previous fork questions so apologies if you have answered me before).
Cheers again folks,
Dave.

Choice of forks looks fine, although I would consider F series fox forks too (or indeed floats). You can go up to 120mm without ruining the bike - a friend of mine has F120s on his Rockhopper, and it rides very well.A Flock of Birds

The bike is designed for 110mm max.0

Thank you folks.
Will probably go 100mm then.
