You are asking opinions on who makes the best boots.  These are all biased because obviously people are going to mention the brand they use, because they fit their feet.  Someone that doesn't fit them is gonna say hell no to their opinions.  The real question is, who makes a boot that fits your feet properly and with the flex you want.  The only way to find this out is to stuff your feet into them and see if they work for you.  Even better if it's with the help of a good bootfitter.

The 2 boots you mentioned are complete opposites in fit.  If you fit one, you won't fit the other.  Hell, odds are that you won't fit either. 

In conclusion........your question is impossible for us to answer and get something right for you.

Wasn't trying to make you feel like a dumbass.  Just didn't want you to go on others personal opinions here, cause it would most likely land you in a bad way.  Just wanted you to get the right boots for you and only you.  Good luck on the search and hope you get a great pair of boots that you love.

you really should go see a reputable bootfitter and explain to them what you want to ski, ie park.  they will be able to evaluate your foot and determine what shell shapes will fit your foot and do neccasary modifications.
