Default upgrade help

Hi, hoping you can help me out.

I have an old specialized rockhopper fsr (around 2000/2001 vintage)
she's old and heavy but I like her
anyway it's reached that point where the rear shock and front fork are both nearly seven years old and could do with replacing!!
currently the front is a manitou magnum and the rear is a 6 inch fox vanilla

I use the bike for everything from a short but hilly (3 mile each way) commute to work, a fair bit of muddy/stoney cross country runs and some mild downhill (I'm old and scared!!)

I'm thinking of fitting either a rockshox tora 302 or a Marzocchi MX pro eta to the front and either a rockshox monarch 3.r (I like the idea of the remote lockout for on the fly adjustment.) or a fox rp23 to the rear end.

anybody using these forks/shocks at the moment and able to offer words of wisdom/experience in this??
cheers
Whitey
