IMO, the best two trails are Merrell Red and Merrell Yellow. Sunday is a Red day, which is the superior direction, but Yellow is great too, and an entirely different trail. When I make it to that side of the state, I always ride Merrell. Best construction around IMO.
Luton is a very modern style as well, and is very flowy. It lacks the berms, rollers, and sustained descents of Merrell, and is more traditional XC.
CSA, from what I recall, is more climby, with some terrific terrain. I've only ridden it at the end of the Trifecta, but think it worthy of a separate trip. I would opt for CSA only if looking for more of an aerobic challenge.
