Choice between an Apollo or DiamondBack?

I'm looking to buy a bike to go to and from work a couple of days a week (approx 5 miles one way) and also a bit off roading in a nearby forest. I've found two bikes in my price range, an Apollo Mountain Bike with full suspension or a nicer looking DiamondBack with only front Suspension. Which should I go for? Or any other suggestions for around £200?

    I'd get the Diamondback- rear suspension is a burden when commuting and it's not necessarily an advantage off-road.

    Go for the diamondback. Rear suspension is useless and makes the bike really heavy. Also, I've never heard of the bike company "Apollo" but maybe that's just because I'm in America
