What amount of travel are you looking for?
Single or double crown?

i prefer singles, just more freedom really, looking at the 170-200mm travel zone. the 66's and totems retail for roughly the same on chainreactions (2007 models) i prfer the look of totems also.

Havent tried Totems but i think they are the tihs... with no experience. 66's are a great feeling fork. Make some epic oral-esque noises, and id make sure you buy new, specially if its one of the 2008 range.
Mine went back after a week. But with warrenty they were sorted smart like with 09 lowers and internals. So Im happy with them.

another for 66's i've had my vf2's for almost three years now with minimal problems, just look at getting a set with alloy steerer if you intend to go real big or hit dodgy drops, the steel steerers tend to bend

I have heard of reliability issues with the 07 Totems- these have been fixed for 2008.
If you get 66s i reckon try and get 07 rc2xs or 06 if there in your price range( not sure what they cost  ). I have heard of reliability issues with the 08 Marzocchis aswell but not many. I reckon Rc2x is better than Rc3 because you can adjust high and low speed compression separately, so if you can try get rc2x.
My pick- 08 Totems
