First, there are a few recent threads on suspension floating around. Do a search and you should find lots of good info from many riders of 250s, 300s and such. For additional points of view. Depending on the shock you choose, you may have greater adjustability in a few areas. High/Low speed damping and rebound. Being able to adjust the high speed rebound can work wonders for street riders on rough pavement.

As far as skills go, lemme ask you a couple questions.

When do you need the most capabilities from your front tire?
When should you start your throttle roll?
When do you want weight on your front wheel?
When do you want to take some weight off your front wheel?
