There is no one right answer. For me, at 5' 10", I have three different sizes. Height alone is meaningless. Some people have short torsos long legs; others vice versa. Do don't take the feedback from here as definitive. Get properly fitted.
For me:
"Bad Boy" commuter (Furio X frame): XL. Wanna be stretched out on the road; seat tube isn't too long. Furio X have Caffeine geometry, rather than Optimo or Furio geometry..
Hardtails & Scalpel: L. Pure cross-country riding.
Few times I've ridden fairly technical stuff on a Moto: M.

I ride a 2008 Rush 4 size L and my height is 6'1 (~184cm), inseam is just under 34" (~86cm).
When I adjust the seatpost so that my knee has a 5-10 degree bend at the bottom of my stroke, the seat is a couple inches above the handlebars. This is after throwing on a 2" riser bar to replace the mid-rise bar that came stock on the bike. The stem is the stock one, 120mm with 5 degree rise...

5'8" Medium aluminum Rush. Shorter legs, longer torso. Not sure, but probably could have been happy on a small, too.

I am 6'4" (193cm) with a 6'7" wingspan. I ride an XL-sized Scalpel. Scalpels run pretty large actually because of the long top tube.
I was riding a 140mm stem but when I upgraded to a Lefty the longest SI stem made was 120mm. I think it was a change for the better as it helps set me back a little farther on steep downhills. I might even try a 100mm stem. I still ride flat bars and bar ends, it's an XC bike after all.

08 Rush 5z Medium frame. I am 5'11". Was fitted on both a medium and large frame. Medium frame seemed to fit me a little better.

5'8" on a Large F7
The large feels a bit big but the medium felt a bit cramped. I was right in between.
Edit: I took my first ride today (nothing fancy just a few highway miles) and it feels just right. I am glad that I didn't go with the Med.

6'1" long legs, short torso, on a medium Prophet. It fits great for tech. riding, I just need a long seat post for XC riding. The large really felt too long in the TT for me.
Would have been perfect with a L seat tube, and M top tube.

5'7" Medium F2000 SL Optimo hardtail. I could have easily gone small- but my torso is long, and I would have felt cramped. Everybody is different. Get fitted by a pro, or Google bicycle size fitting, and get every angle possible, on what best suits a particular rider. You will know your bike is dialed-in to you, once you notice rides becoming easier, longer, and most of all- funner.
