MTX, pretty sure they are a stronger rim & also you'll have plenty of spare $ to buy other stuff.
I run the mtx on the rear of my jump bike and it has been exceptional, use mavic 729's on my DH bike and the are also good, just more expensive than the mtx. Polished mtx's look the shit.

The mtx's are stronger and look better but a bit heavier than the 721.

i reckon i'll go with the 721, but i been reading reviews on other sites and some guys say that maxxis tyres dont fit onto the rim, has anyone had that experience? (the tyre coming off the rim). do you reckon a maxxis holy roller
(26x2.4) would be able to stay on the rim?

i have a pair of 721's on one bike and a front on another. the stay super straight all the time but the joining pin can come lose and slide around in the rim causing you to scream in frustration at the occurance of an unwanted noise on your bike.
