Don't buy a boot based strictly on what you ski. Find one THAT FITS YOUR FOOT. If you can find a couple that do, then flex them and decide which one you like better.
It's retarded here how people just buy the SPK or Foil boots because they are "park" boots, and that means that because they ski park, they must buy them.

Find a reputable boot fitter within your area.
Have them fit your foot and give you the boots that'll fit you well, and from those pick your most comfortable/flex desisred.

Personally, I'd either go with Salomon or Nordica. This year I have some Nordica's that are perfect to my foot and I love them. They're right, you don't need to get a "park" ski, there isn't much difference. I'll try and find my boots and post a couple more up here for you to look at.

OK, they may be. Still why the fuck would you buy a boot that doesn't fit your foot? In English, why the fuck would you want to ski in pain because you bought a boot just because it looked steezy?
Now, don't get me wrong, your foot may be a perfect match for the SPK's and I may be wasting my air here. However, I'd give you an 80% chance that this is not the case, which if so, you should go to a good bootfitter and work with him to find a boot that fits you well before even thinking about buying some boot that you think will make you cork 1080's in a day.

^ Hahaha, he's got it right.
Here are my boots for this season:

Last season I had some Salomon's which plainly kicked ass, but I outgrew them. My boots this year are awesome though.
All times are Eastern (-4)
