Public Enemies sound good. They are an awesome all mountain ski.
Tweaks are awesome too if you like a little bit stiffer.
Scratch BCs are surprisingly versatile if you like trees and powder as well. I use em and they are surprisingly good on groomers and super stable on jumps.

1080's for sure brah; light,fast, stable and smooth. 720's are better suited to lil dudes that rip.

Look p12 demos.....that way you can move the bindings without re-drilling if need be, and the PE's are nice, good choice, I hear they're a little heavy compared to some other skis that are about that same size, but they're sturdy like none other.

Best all mountian and Park ski is mothership flites. On ebay or at some places you can get for 200 under. I ride them and it the perfect combo wide enough for powder and all mountian with a perfect twin. DOnt get the assains there fuckin gay in the park. plus its steezy to ride all mountian backwards.

first of all...dont get a fucking 1080 boot just because its trendy or whatever. buy a boot that fits your foot. get professionally fitted. if you have a boot that doesnt fit, you cant ski em. so dont even bother asking the boot question

=======================================

Just shut up and ski.

go with a boot that you're comfortable with. doesnt have to be a freestyle boot like the 1080 either. ive had the same boots for 4 years and i use em with my AR5's and they still feel great.

'first of all...dont get a fucking 1080 boot just because its trendy or whatever. buy a boot that fits your foot. get professionally fitted. if you have a boot that doesnt fit, you cant ski em. so dont even bother asking the boot question'
