I would say the raptor or yfz. Probaly the raptor. I say the raptor because it is cheaper, easy to wheelie, and even though its kinda tippy,can still get the rear end to slide pretty easy.

The YFZ is powerful, but it is expensive and since you don't jump much or race i dont think its the best choice.

Although im a die hard banshee guy, and i would think it would be good for everything you like to do except wheelies. Although the banshee is easy to wheelie, its peaky powerband can get you hurt quick.

They are not that bad for trails unless they are very muddy, or if you think there will be a need for reverse very often. If its a trail that another sport quad can go through it should be okay.
