I'd say either dj2 or Argyle. 2 of my buddies own gold labels, one had the internals go bad within a year and the other is on his 2nd set of lowers (cracked the first ones within a month). Although, they are pretty sweet when they are working.
On the other hand, the Argyle is pretty much a beefed up pike, which I have, and it is a sweet feeling and stiff jump fork.
DJ2 seems solid as well, but I haven't had ride time on one
I've had foxes and manitous on my bikes and have ridden most dirtjump forks out there. The argyle is nice but for $250 plus $12 for a stiff machining spring, the gold label is hard to beat. That's what I'm riding now and I'm pretty happy with it.
if you could find a slightly used pike, i'd recommend that. mine has been awesome, over a year of solid riding and it has not shown any signs of problems. otherwise, the GL or check out a nemPRO tuned Z1....people seem to rave about them.
