Personally, I think that in order to get a bike thats truly trail worthy you have to spend $1200+. Best bet is to find last years model left overs in the shop. There are so many good choices. Do you intend to be strictly XC? Maybe a little more "Freeride"? You gotta ask yourself what you see yourself using it for most.
My favorites at this point, for moderate price:
Giant NRS
Giant VT series
Trek Fuel
Gary Fisher Cake
Gary Fisher Sugar
K2 Razorback
K2 Lithium
SantaCruz Superlight
Cannondale Jekyl
Specialized Epic
Jamis Dakar XLT series
....this list goes on
Its doubtful you'll be disappointed with whatever bike you choose. Id always go with the best component spec possible within your alotted budget. Look for goodies like Hydraulic Disk brakes and get the bike with the best fork you can find. The front fork is the heart of the suspension and handling characteristics.
Not alot of help, huh.
