The one you're comfortable on? Obviously certain shapes are better at certain things, but at the end of the day you could take anything down anything and be fine. There's no worlds best really. I'd just go for something that can handle loose trucks and has a wheelbase around 30", cause that's what I've been riding around and it suits my needs for smaller hills and commuting.

first off i am not a loaded fan boy, there are many other great boards on the market, but here are my two cents.

you may want to look at the loaded ceviche. Its kinda an all around short cruiser that is extremely nimble and fun to take and ride around on side walks, neighbourhood streets, banks, bowls etc. it has two fairly large kicks which make manuals a sinch.

if you want to get into sliding look at a loaded dervish which i have personally ridden and my friends both enjoy it to take all over. It is a very flexy and snappy board which makes it extremely lively and fun to ride.

for both of these boards get paris trucks. smaller hanger width for the ceviche (150) and wheels to your liking.

also the dervish is completely symmetrical and is longer then the ceviche

I might have a biased opinion because i have only rode s9 and original but I love original the apex 37 is amazing for just about everything and i think that their trucks make everything so much more fun to ride

I ride a Landyatchz Wedge Flex. It's a pintail, but whatever. I like it.
It's flat board (no concave) but it has an S-shade to it. The way it's shaped it AWESOME for just pushing into carves and having it snap back right away.
Super positive, reactive feel to it.

If you really don't like pintails, as others have said, get a Loaded Deverish.
They are expensive, but they are super flexy and use a drop through truck system so it gets you nice and low to ground which helps you to maintain a better center of gravity so you can really push into your carves.

dervishes arnt that low, due to the massive amount of camber they have.

check out the landyachtz carbon mummy. great board, great price. so much fun to fuck around on

The camber balances out to a neutral flat zone with weight added.
And drop through trucks get you lower to the ground then traditional under-board mounting even with unweighted camber of the dervish. Fact.
Throw on some Zig-Zags or Orangatangs with some wide stance trucks and you'll have one of the best cruiser/carving board combo money can buy. Don't believe me? Ride one.

I think you accidentally added the word "the" into your otherwise correct statement.
