It's really more down to the design than the material, with the right design and quality of assembly a good bike can be built out just about any material. There area still some questions about carbon frames resistance to impact though, so for something like all-mountain where falls are fairly frequent and the need for a really light ride isn't as pressing you might want to go with another frame material instead.
