2009 Carbon manitou dorado's, or the 2010 aluminium ones, 40's although I 'd wait till 2011 for them, or 2010 888 rc 3 evo ti or BOS.
What the heck if i had the money I'd get a set of each.

if you want to wait for 2011, the new 2011 fox range should have the kashima coating i havent heard if 40's are going to have the new kashima coating but from the talk id assume they would. of course it is a long time to wait expessially if their not as great as they are expected but if you can do with your current forks id wait it out.
kashima is said to be i think 4 times stronger than the current hard anodising and reduces friction drastically.it was basically brough into use as the world cup riders were using nickel coated forks but while drastically reducing friction they were not durable enough( which is why they never produced them) but the kashima coating for 2011 seems to fix this issue and appears very promising while been available to the public.
there was a small write up on it in the last (april) AMB
