Which park ski? +K for advice.

So next year I'm looking to get a nice park ski, I like rails and boxes a lot, jumps not so much but I'll probably get into them more. I've kinda narrowed it down to armada halos, moment rockers, Salomon suspects, or ON3P blue steels. Which of these are best for my interests and why? What sizes would be recommended, I'm 5'10" don't know if I'm still growing or not, 17 and about 150 lbs. I'm open to other advice on skis as long as you have had experience with the ski. I'll get them center mounted of course, so what would be a good binding as well? Last pair of skis my parents will buy so I figure it better last me a while. Durability is a major component in my decision. +K for good advice, thanks. Oh, and I'm riding 179 K2 Kung fujas with marker schitzos right now if it matters, probably would keep them as a big mountain ski.

Well just to say they aren't making the Moment Rockers anymore.

Didn't know that, the moments would be the reno jib then. or this years rocker, which ever is better.

buying blue steele's next year. I'm your weight, and height, everyone on here recommended 181 for me. They have tip and tail rocker so that makes it ski shorter. Armada halos are still sick skis though, I just like what on3p is doing and how they are handmade(idk if armada is... sorry if they are.)

I would say go for the suspects, theyre more for rails/boxes but u can still take them off boxes. also did u think about line afterbangs?

i dont know much about the blue steeles but they do sound sick. what i do know though is that the halo's have rocker, which will help alot for butters, and setting in for rotations. there also pretty bomb proof so you can beat em up a bit. i vote halos.
