Default what do you think?

my boyfriend is 6ft and 175lbs, and likes to ride rough. he broke my trek 4700 just messing around out on some heavy trails and little jumps...over $150 to repair!! taking this into consideration, i have come to the conclusion that he needs a very durable bike, with respectable conponents, b/c in a couple of years he'll end up replacing most of the conponents anyway, but it needs to last at least two years of abuse from him. i am on a BIG budget, so I can't spend more than $450. Currently, we like the Gary Fisher Opie, Fuji Panic, and possibly the IBEX Ignition-1. Also, because he also needs to use this bike as his primary form of transportation e.g. getting to work and such, we are not sure if we should go with a hardtail(my personal favorite) or a full suspension. Anybody got some suggestions?
