As you can see i am directing my search towards rockered park skis. I am 5'4 and weigh 107 pounds. I ski 45% pipe 35% park 20% groomers / pow. I want a semi symmetrical twin for park and pipe but possibly a wider dimension under foot for powder and groomer ripping days. That rocker i have heard adds some "float" and makes more of a 1 ski quiver.
here are the pros and cons i have collected.

          PROS                                  l                         CONS
___________________________l_______________________________
Armada favorite ski brand ever    l  
                                                      l
Armada and K2 been around for  l   ON3P are newer to the ski industry
a while longer                               l     
                                                      l
The Jeronimos have 96 under-     l The alphas  have a 81 underfoot
foot. (wider for all mountain)        l
                                                      l       
I  can get the armadas for            l  The kungfujas and moments are like 100$
cheeper then moments and K2s   l   more.
                                                      l
ON3P is form Oregon.                   l
 (home state)                                l
  

so can you guys add more to this list? please

Go for the ON3P's, based on dimensions alone, Plus it just is gonna be a quality ski.
I'd say that it's not a con that ON3P is new to the industry, they definitely know what they are doing.

Consider core material, rocker profile and stiffness too, those are all important factors as well.

I'll let others fill in the rest, but our Jeronimo's have bamboo cores (which I find exceedingly poppy and light), a 1/30 cm rocker tip and tail and medium flex (which freaking rocks with bamboo cores, soft enough to handle almost anything, and the flex of bamboo just eliminates so much chatter that rocker usually causes).
