if it was me buying a beginner mountain bike, I would buy a hard tail bike. I would spend atleast $400-500 USD and would ride different brands. Also go to shimano's website and look at the levels of components and try to get the better quality components in the same price point.

I agree get a hardtail for over $400. Best brands I have found is Specialized, Trek, Gary Fisher and Giant.
I have a Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc which works very well for me. Here is the link.
