I need new skis next year.Heres whats up

-5' 11'
-155 pounds
-Agressive park skier
-5% powder ( only when i go out to keystone,CO)
-85% park/playing around.
-10% all mountain
-i ski east coast a lot of rails and a lot more jumps..

ive narrowed it down to 3
Rossignol Scratch Ghetto (2008)-size 174 or 181 (cant decide)
Line Chronic(2008) 176
2007 Armada ARV size 175

I really have my mind set on the ghettos..but ive saved up for a long time and im curious of which of the these skis will perform the best for what i do and how people like them
thanks

ghetto's are the same ski as my fs wrs that i skied last winter.  absolutely amazing for park.  and total rippers for all mountain.  my buddy rides the blends and i had a chance to shred a bit on those as well.  those rip too.  they have a totally different feel.  much more damp and deliberate feeling.  the scratches feel a lot more lively.  other skis i'd suggest would be possibly 4frnt msp and surface watch life.
