I think you need to provide people with a bit more information. The Faith and the Glory are two totally different bikes for different styles of riding. Nobody can make a recommendation without knowing what kind of riding you do.

Do you plan on using your new bike for freeriding or DH?

I would go with the faith, that way if you want to ride some trails it wont be THAT hard to pedal.

Well, Youre 12. So something with 3 wheels........

.
Just kidding. Dont buy new, you dont need that at 12. Look in the buysell for your price bracket, and shop around! Theres some good deals out there.

Get the faith 0 for shure. By the way, is it with your parents money? Because you sound a bit rich for your age...

No kidding! i would honestly recommend you get a good hardtail, much more versatile and you will learn how to ride properly. Then move on to a full suss.

I ride a reign X and it is def NOT an XC bike. It is a great all around bike that can tackle anything like diablo or blue mtn bike parks, while being able to ride to school or to a friends house with it. Try riding a DH rig on the road to a buddy's house...not really possible. But if you are really really going to race I would get the faith or glory.
