well, the step ups would cover your first three criteria and the halos for the last two... i suppose i would choose the step ups because they are more of a price point ski and if you will be beating the shit out of them on rails no point spending all the money.

you are off with both pairs or at least the step ups. step ups are stiff as balls. id go hands down straight for the ninthward b murdah. 90mm under foot, nice and buttery, and with take your full beating. if u want something skinnier i suggest the urban twin or the true twin. the true twin has rocker and the other two have camber. go to levelninesports.com and look at their line up. super cheap right now but im not sure they ship over seas. good luck

Nordica and Volkl both have a reputation of being stiff, poppy responsive skis. Not so much in the loose buttery front, but definitely well built.

Thalls? they are pretty buttery and actually have more flex than the halos(the halos are just rockered). and they have carbon fiber strings in the tip and tail for more pop.
