Maybe it is impossible to agree on this, but Ill ask just the same:
What are the contenders for the best dirt jump bikes?
Im asking because I dont know, but I would imagine that the following would be included

26: Blk Mrkt Mob, NS Bikes Majesty, Deity Cryptkeeper, Superco Charger
24: Blk Mrkt Contraband, Liquid Feedback
20:

My interest is dirt jumping on trails, not street and park
But I wouldnt object to the thread including those as well

26: Tonic Fabrications Howie
24: Tonic Fabrications fall guy

It is pretty hard to find fault with the detail and passion they put into their bikes been riding my Howie for going on 4 ish years always a pleasure.

Yeah, can't forget the Tonics!
I've owned a Majesty, and a Contraband, both stellar choices for 26 and 24.
Lusted after the Tonics and Supercos...
Have had a couple of custom frames built, I like this the best.

For me, Simple Bicycle Co.

I've been riding Oscars frames for 6 years now and don't think I'll ever buy another brand of DJ frame. They just look and jump so nice. Take my testimony with a grain of salt though since I do get to watch my frame being built.

I love my DJ so much that I had him build a XC frame for SS mountain biking. He basically built me a DJ frame with sliders and MTB geometry. Gawd it's awesome

I think it comes down to if you want/need/enjoy suspension. I do not.

I will secnd this. Fall Guy all the way. However I truly loved my Mob when I had it. For a 26", that was the perfect bike IMO. But the 24" in general is the do all size that works best for my riding. To each their own.
