Filthy Rich vs Fatypus L-toro vs G-butter vs T-Halls?

Alright so im looking for new skis next season, I currently ski a pair of T-Halls and love them, but they have changed them up a little for next year and im considering my other options.
Im 5'10 ski a 171 really happy size wise, im 180 pounds. Ski with look px12 bindings thus far but will probably mount a pair of pivots on my next ski.
I give my skis hell alot of the time, and being on the heavy side i stomp pretty hard when i land off some things. I like a buttery fun ski with good pop that is fine to take on bigger jumps.
Looked into the filthy riches' because of good things ive heard about them, but im not sure about the cambered tip and tail, havent riden a cambered ski in the park before, and the price seems kinda on the high side.
T-Halls i know and am really comfortable riding, I like how they ski and they have really been solid for me the last two seasons, leaning towards getting these because of the fact that i really like them so far.
Fatypus ive heard alot of good things about and how light they are, so thats why im kinda into the L-toros or the G-butter but i dont know whats best.
+K for solid advice! and thanks in before hand for your responses!

also.. on3p uses a bamboo core material which is better than aby other core since it is stronger and lighter than other woods. sorry for bad typing im on mobile. :)

its not lighter, but the weight to strength ratio is far better, and you can use thinner cores because of the strength, plus full length carbon fiber helps cut down on weight
