For woods riding on tight trails with lots of rocks and roots, IMO you want less high speed compression damping. High speed refers to how fast the suspension has to move when it hits a sharp bump. With less high speed compression damping, the suspesnion will go through more of the stroke, giving you a more plush, less tiring ride. You can still have a controlled ride on jumps and higher speed trails.
Generally, the best way to reduce high speed compression damping is to get the suspension revalved by a competent shop. If you tell us where you live, you might get some good recommendations.
