Enduro, not super light weight but light enough to race for long distance/time i.e comfortable, durable build
XC, light weight, fast snappy handling lighter less likely to withstand a crash components but racing snake fast bike! probably not too comfortable for long periods of time!
Trail, what the most of us ride, 120-140mm travel Full Susser with fairly relaxed geometry that will descend as well as it climbs a sort of middle of road bike, Jack of all/M aster of non
Thats my guess anyway

Its taken me weeks to decide which bike, best advice is to test the bikes themselves. I tested the Specialized Enduro and stumpjumper full sussers. For me the Trail type bike is best. More in touch with the terrain and more control and basically more fun. Big plush bikes like the enduro (all mountain bikes) are too forgiving and for me less fun.
You will know when you ride the bike for you. It just feels right.
Good luck!
