Which HT Frame?

My 01 250cc frame is almost on it's last wheel, and I think it's time I started looking at a new frame. A dirt jumping and urban frame, but one that can also handle 6-8' drops and it has to be super strong. I'm leaning towards the LeToy 4 right now, but any and all input would be great.

if you are willing to wait i would go with the le toy 4, but if you want something right away I would go for the stiffee sl, out of those two i dont think you could go wrong, same goes with the 5 hun

Time is not a problem, actually I was looking at around spring in getting the frame. No doubt the SL and 5Hun are excellent DJers and Urban rides, but can they handle 8 foot drops on a regular basis?

I think your limating yourself with that selection of bikes. 2 other good frames are the banshee morphine and yes, the .243.
