tires, tubeless and a dropper are my top 3. pedals also make a huge difference. you dont want to do big upgrades like fork or drivetrain.
Of the options, I would choose rockhopper, followed by the marlin 4. A large should suit you best.
You could go used and get a good mtb for $500. Best of luck
On an old bike, I swapped on a sunrace cassette and had similar issues. I think keeping to the same brand for the cassette and derailleur helps to avoid such issue.
Fellow socal rider.
I would just ride that bike on xc trails for now and keep it stock.
I would recommend you save up in the mean time around $800-1500 and go on pink bike and get a used mtb that is newer that 2016. Another option is to buy an agressive hardtail.
I recently sold my bike. I just wore a mask and used gloves during the transaction. But I haven’t gone for a ride even though I got a new bike.
