You'd be surprised. AHC can excel in this type of running in my experience, with composure and great body control. The active damping system responds well to dial in for conditions. In harder running, flipping the manual control to sport further biases the shocks for larger whoops and hits. I've done pretty fast and hard runs in desert with Raptor buddies and it holds its own. With more comfort. It's got the hardware with spool valves in the remote dampers, and tons of fluid which stays about 10-20 degrees over ambient even after extended runs.
There's a few things that can be tuned further for this type of running. The stock setup keeps pretty minimal compression travel splitting at front 3.5" compression to 5.5" droop, rear 4.125" to 5.875", at normal height. Sensor lift can bias for more compression travel. Bump stops also help g-outs.
If you want even more, look here. Setup this way, there's no way I'd ditch AHC.
Long Travel AHC
Probably no surprise, but I've been a big proponent oh AHC. Damping always dialed in regardless of load. Large fluid volumes and remote accumulator damper that stays cool with extended off-road travels. Actively pressurized for long term performance and durability.

I still need to go on a run with you ! Just back from Johnson Valley and LX did very well.
