OKAAAYY... *takes deep cleansing breath*
On what bike to buy, sometimes simplier is better. I have a hardtrail. It gives me the jist of what I need with lightness. Prior posts give good advice on the components and price break for HT vs full susp.
On fit, DO NOT buy it too big. I *thought* I needed a bigger bike than I did. So glad I have the smaller now. When you are actually in a true mtb trail situation trying to get your bike through stuff, if it's too much bike to wrestle, that can be a very bad thing.
I'd shop all the stores. Looking around gives you all the options.
On climbing... part of your original post question... my vote is light. If it's trail or road, extra weight of any kind / any place just hurts after a while.
