Replying to Footboards

Search barred for a little while and couldn't find anything so here it goes:

Recently I have been seeing some things about companies having options for rubber footboards (I.e. Dalbello with their Kr pro coming with a "Solid Lug" footboard and a Landing Gear" or rubber footboard) and was wondering what the advantages and disadvantages to having a rubber footboard to someone who aims to ski bigger lines and to take bigger hits than someone who prefers ski feel and a "solid" feel. i don't really know what I'm talking about here hence why I am reaching out, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
