Shoot me, I searched: Fork question

I am in the midst of my budget freeride build using the frame I asked about here previously, a Bighit SPEC. I'm using cast-off parts from buddies and have a line on some forks all for the same bucks but have no idea which to choose as I have spent the last 15 years DJing a 20" and back when I raced MTB in the early 90s it was on my rigid, forks all sucked then. I have never ridden with suspension.

the forks offered to me are:

Marzocchi ZI
Manitou Sherman Flick with heavy springs in it.
Marzocchi Super T

I think I've already ruled out the T because I like to do this...

...a little hipper 360 X-up at 9th Street a few years back.

That T gonna bonk frame if I get too twisty so I'm down to the Flick or the Z1. School me folks.

Gotta know the travel of both and the adjustments on the Z1 before we can make a recommendation. Find out what year the Z1 is and we can figure out the travel. I'd go with the Marz as long as it's not really old and short. The adjustments on the Flick (I have a Flick+) don't do $hit. I do like TPC though.
