Recommendation - Forks

Hello.
I'm looking to upgrade my forks on my hardtail. I bought the bike a year ago because it had nice spec except for the forks. My current forks are RST Omegas which feel unpleasant on any rough terrain!
I have a maximum budget of around £300. I just want a quality, reliable fork mainly for XC riding that doesn't need servicing often. I don't know much about suspension so would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

All forks need servicing to stay of their best, Rockshox are the most robust IMO though.
You should be able to find a Reba for that money......sorted.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

Awesome, thanks for that, rebas seem right for me. Is there much difference between dual air and solo air?0

Some good deals here http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/frame-forks/forks-shocks/rockshox-suspension-forks/
Got me some 2012 recon golds for 180 quid havnt fitted them yet but they look superb. there are some rebas on there.
Think I saw some rebas on CRC for about 250, tapered0 -
I have Dual Air and they are a bit of a faff to get right, but he extra adjustability seems to suit some people.0
