Default all mountain all day?

Hello!
i have an older cannondale hardtail that has served me well on the local fireroads. i've tried to take it out to the single track out there when i first started a few years back, but i got tossed around and jostled like no other. i haven't been riding as much as i would have liked the past two years (college), but i've been road biking for the past year and i'm excited about getting back on the trails.

-especially some singletrack! i'm looking for a good rig that will help me bomb the technical singletrack but that i can also ride all day - and that can also tackle some hills and climb when necessary.

any good recommendations or advice? things i should be aware of? i am looking to buy a used bike- so older model recommendations are appreciated too. budget- i'd really like to spend under 2 grand if it's possible.

i've looked at the trek liquid and the giant ac. any comments? thanks for the help!!

Have you looked at Jamis bikes at all? Lot's of bang for the buck component wise.
