That frame will be [even more of] a pig on 24s.

Nothing, just heard 24" ride nicer for purely dirt, more 'manuvable' etc.

24s are only any good on frames designed for them.

not as easy as that, really depends on the bike. My Old Jekyll was designed for 26", they sold itwith 24" on, I changed it to 26" and rigid, it rode terrible.

No hard and fast rules sadly

lacuna

Azonic Outlaws. I land everything like a sack of crap and they are yet to show any signs of wear. I haven't even had to retension the spokes.

Take it its best to have something good/solid on the rear for hard landings etc. and doesnt matter about something cheap on the front... although its good anyway
