Replying to Chronic or Anthems?

Hey guys. I've been skiing on Line Mavericks since they came out (2003 I think), and just got into park this year. So I am a beginner and can do some 360's, horrible at rails, but maybe that's because I have a 74 cm middle? Well, I recently went up to Lutsen Mountain (8 hour drive from my house) and when I was pulling the skis out of the truck, I noticed that the back end was splitting in half. I basically can't ski switch or else they will split even more. So I need a new set for next year. I would like to stick with Lines, but any other suggestions would be helpful. But ya, is Chronic's or Anthems better for a begginer that wants to do more in the park? I was also wondering, do the kind of bindings really matter when in the park? Thanks!
