that's a hard one. pipe cleaners are great all around and suspects are sweet too, and the anthem's butter zones are so sick. but i would pick pipe cleaners cause armada's are way sweet and really good quality.

the thing is pipe cleaners were armadas only skis last year with a capped side wall (between ar6 and thall) therefor they didnt chip at all.this year they arent so look out for that, same with suspect.anthem is capped..all 3 are great skis,but go with pipe cleaner

i guess it depends on what you are going to be doing. pipe cleaners are stiff so they kill it on jumps and speed. anthems are soft so they a sick for butters and rails. suspects are the same as thrusters. kinda stiff but still shred everything. I would say suspects. when I tryed a pair they held up just as well as my ar6s on jumps but seeing how they are a tad bit softer they were nicer for rails. and the edge armor will help if you do alot of rails. but how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Armadas are definetely legit... anthems are better if you want a wider ski for more support on rails and landing jumps, but also you can take anywhere...
have u considered the t-halls? next years graphic is sick along with the soft flex pattern which is supposedly like lines butter zones...
all depends on what u want...
decide what your looking for and pick what fits your specific needs best.

Anthems are not meant for big jump landings. They're wayyyy too soft and you'll wash out. They're meant for rails, playing around, and soft snow.
How much will you be hitting jumps as opposed to hitting rails and jibbing and messing around? That will help us determine what ski is right for you. Everyone who has recommended a ski for you at this point is making an assumption about where you ski, and thats not good. You don't want to end up with something you don't want because you didn't provide enough info...
