Replying to Al Dente or Halo 2

I stopped by the local ski shop the other day and was discussing what skis he recommends for this season. He said he has rode em all and really has his eyes set on the al dentes and this years halos. I told him I mainly ride small hill park and just lap on the two rope. He said that if I am planning on beating these up bad trying many new tricks I should go with the halos because of how thick the sidewall is and how durable the ski is. He then said if I am thinking more just to fuck around on the slopes and not wreck em up too bad then to pick the al dentes because of how soft and fun they ride. I am stuck in between the two and want your guys' input.. What do u think
