Havent ever ridden a Totem so I can't say anything about them but I've had my 08 66 RC3 for a while now and I love it. Its a little heavy but it just feels like it will never break, super strong and plush. The 66 is a great fork to get but I can't compare them fairly.

x2, what model/year were you thinking of, if you can find a 06/07 66rc2x then you wont be disappointed. but yeah what frame is it going on? and what kind of riding will you be doing.

definitely agree that the year is a deciding factor. i have the 08 66ata and it has given me loads of trouble. i also have friends that have older 66's that have worked flawlessly with very little maintenance.

08s are kinda hit n miss, some are good some are lemons, looks like the might M is back for 09 though.
