If you do rails a lot your edges are gonna eventually crack no matter what you do.  Personally I would detune them so you don't stick on rails the first couple times... I don't think detuning makes a difference as far as durability though.

My skis fucked me over so bad last year on rails beacuse the edges were mad sharp. They caught once on a kink rail, threw me off and I dislocated my shoulder, put me out for a month. I detuned them during that time and when I got back on the mountain they slid so much easier and gave me much more confidence that I wasn't gonna die again. I would definately detune them.

i do a little bevel on the base and then let them detune naturally, it keeps it easier to deal with if  you ever want them sharp again
