I am looking to get some Rigid Forks for what will be my single speed rigid MTB, the standard forks are 120 so looking for rigids equal to this - does anyone know what axle to crown height I should be looking at? or Will it really matter if I buy equal to 100mm?

Been looking at these;

Any other suggestions? I would prefer 15mm axle if possible but its not a major issue to convert.

Remember you can get away with a slightly lower a2c on a rigid fork as they have no sag and no dive under braking so your head angle geometer is fixed, instead of becoming steeper right when you don't it to!

I've got the On-One monocoque forks on my Cannondale, they ride pretty nice, although most of the riders in our single speed gang like the Niner forks.

I've got some Exotic forks on my Inbred, these are actually 26" forks, but my 29er wheels fit fine, these have sharpened the steering up no end, I love the way this feels now. There's very little vertical movement, but they are quite flexable for and aft, this can be a little disconcerting, like driving an Alfasud...

Salsa make some really nice rigid forks. Run a CroMoTo on my rigid MTB and can't fault it TBH. They do various different versions for different wheel sizes and axles.
