Tough 100mm travel forks?

I took delivery of my new frame yesterday, an Identiti Dr Jekyll HT. I'm after some 100mm(or there abouts, 120mm max) forks because my Marzocchi All Mountain 2's are a bit too much for it at 150mm. I plan on doing a lot of hard riding and travel around 100-120max should be fine, but I also like going to bike parks so will that travel be ok?
it will be for 26" wheels with your standard QR hub and be able to take discs. Also 1 1.8th steerer tube.
Either new or second hand it doesn't really bother me but I'm unsure about my budget. I've not bought or looked into getting forks since 2006 and a lot has changed since then. Never really see many Marzocchi forks about any more, are they slacking with keeping up with the competition? Seems to me more Rockshox and Fox about nowadays.

I've just been having a look on CRC and I'm pretty limited to choice because of my new frame only taking 1 1/8 headset. The ones that came up for me were these three only. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/fork ... 42949574780

I have edited this topic from asking about 130mm forks. I tried my Marzocchi AM's on the jekyll frame set to 130mm using the ETA and it felt like a wheelbarrow. I'm now looking for something around 100-120mm max.0

I'd be tempted by a Tora 318 solo air. Built like a tank.0

I'd go for some second hand fox 32 float f100 rlc's. Not particulalry tough but a very nice fork for their travel.coiler - http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1463278/

You're not going to get anything particularly stiff with a QR. Toras will be about as good as you will get.
I found Rebas and Floats really flexy even with a 15mm axle.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
