Out of the three skis you just mentioned, I would definitely go with the Armada AR7's. The Line Mastermind is definitely more of an entry-level ski, and you're probably going to progress past its capabilities relatively quickly. The Armada is great in the park, but it's also great on the whole mountain. Definitely a more versatile choice. I just found a great deal on them here:
I've dealt with these guys before, and they offer great customer service. They'll answer your questions for you if you give them a call too. Their guys are very knowledgeable, and might even have other suggestions for you. Give it a try. Enjoy the season! Gonna be an epic year!

Dude. it all depends on what kind of $$$ you want to spend.

The AR7's are about $499, where the Masterminds are just over $200

The Masterminds are fine for just the park, but the AR7's can shred the whole mountain a bit better.

My friend rode his masterminds all year last year and loved them. they held up to his dub corks and hard rail hits pretty well too!

Seriously though, the price difference is insane. This is like comparing a Lamborghini to my ford focus :(
