Fork upgrade advice

Hi all,
Took up cycling about two years ago and bought a GT Aggressor XC2. Started out just on cycle paths, forest fire roads and green trails etc. As I got better I moved on to single track and blue / red routes. As my riding has progressed in terms of terrain and conditions I have up graded the seat post, pedals and had a new bottom bracket when the original wore out. Now I have had enough of the SR Suntour XCR fork seizing in the wet and its time for an upgrade.
My question is what should I go for? I have a budget of £250-300. It will be used for natural single track and trail centre blue / red routes. I was thinking 100-120 travel so to not stress the frame to much? Have been told rock shox are a good bet, reliable and easy to service? Marzocchi also seem to be well priced but have been told they are harder to service and get parts for?
Help!!!
