Not sure of your budget or exactly what you have in mind, but over on the MTB for sale thread is a very nice yellow Specialized Rockhopper for collection in Hull. If I lived anywhere near, or could arrange a courier, and didn't have *way* too many bikes already I'd probably be looking at something like that.
 
I saw the bike, and its lovely and it would have taken precedence over the ones on my list. But it seems a bit small for me.
its also a 3 hour drive which is a mission!
 
Diamond Back or GT both get my vote......if just on looks the black GT.

As they are both pretty old a lot will also depend on how worn they are, maybe ask about BB & wheels to check theyre not too worn, although everything is fixable.
 
If you are going to ride it and not just clean it up and look at it then I would second that fit is by far the most important part of any bike (new or second hand). Bikes are like shoes, if they don't fit they don't get used.
