I'm definitely not in a position to advise anyone on the best bike for big hits at Dyfi or the alps etc, and I've not read anything from anyone on this forum that suggests they are. (I'm probably wrong to make assumptions about other forum members though - they tend to be older, but some may well have done crazy stuff in the past.)

However, from the top YouTube search results of Matt and Jono Jones hitting the big stuff at Dyfi, they brought the following: an enduro, a slope-duro, both downhill and enduro, and a downhill with coil shock. These guys almost always get an uplift, or a tow from someone on an eBike, which is a different world to me - I almost always pedal up, because my number one objective of riding a bike park is the exercise. So for me, a true downhill bike is out - I need more gears and easier pedalling. I therefore err on the side of under-biking, but choose rides within my limits. (Being under-biked is loads of fun - you can get the adrenaline flowing riding a hardtail on a run which would be a bit dull on a downhill bike.)

Your objectives might be different though. If your riding group are all doing big hits and uplifts, then a downhill bike might be a no-brainer. On the other hand, if you're after a one-size-fits-all bike, then something with more gears etc. might be a better fit for whatever trails you've got closer to home. I've ended up with two bikes: for the biggest stuff that I ever do, I use a full-suss trail bike with 130mm travel. My other one is an old hardtail cross-country bike with triple chainset and 100mm forks, and this one is actually my favourite because you can easily ride to the local trails and tackling the techy stuff is a fun challenge.
