ar7 if u r mainly on rails and ur jumps rnt too big. they r a softer ski (not as soft as the thalls) so they will be more playful on the rails, nosebutters, and what not.

Chronics are sick, I like them so far this year but they're pretty wide for park. Ar7s would be my recommendation cause i've only heard good things about them

Three very different skis.
Chronics:
Chronic (85ish underfoot) or chronic kryptonite (92ish underfoot)?
Both are very versatile park skis. Good durability, really nice stiff flex, awesome park skis. Great for big jumps, rails, and all-mountain.
Ledges:
Really durable, symmetrical shape, soft flex. Their more of a beginner park ski but their awesome on rails and small jumps. Super poppy, buttery feel, light weight.
I had them for 2 years and loved them, still in mint condition after two seasons of abuse.
AR7's:
Similar to old Chronics. Stiff flex, versatile, durable, pretty much your standard park sticks. Good on bigger jumps and rails.
How much do you weigh, how tall are you, what kind of flex do you like, where are you planning on mounting your skis, how good a skier are you (park and all-mountain)?

Alright I'm about 6ft, 145 lbs, right now I have K2 silencers and the are super flexy and soft, I mean it gives a good pop but I want something a little stiffer, you know what I mean? And I'm pretty good, not trying to talk myself up or anything. I can do pretty much every rail in our park. And switch ups, 2's off both ways and still gettin 2's on. But I like to go out and ski the woods and stuff. Center mounted of course. Thanks for the help!

K. Chronic cryps or ar7's would both be good, versatile, durable, and nice stiff flexes that are still poppy. I wouldn't recommend ledges, their soft and not very versatile.
Maybe look into Volkl walls (ledges bigger brother). Their bombproof, stiff, and really versatile for a symmetrical ski. Great park stick. So all three would be a good choice. Not sure if the shop your buying from has them.
As for sizing, 178 cryps, 181 ar7's, and 177 or 185 walls would all be good.

i'm on AR7s and love them. stiff enough to handle jumps but still poppy and playful, and i have heard nothing but good things about Armada durability.

have AR7 and my bro has chronic cryptonites. the chronic Cs are alot wider, and look reall sick. he got them big, and there great for stomping landings. i really like my AR7 skis but would have to say get the chronics.

thanks i really appreciate it, which would be easier to just go shred in some powder in the snow or would they ll ski the same?

chronic cryptonits would probably handle soft snow best due to the extra width.

does anyone know if the ledge is coming back unchanged next year or will there be some changes other than the graphic

Chronics would do marginally better than the other three just because they have an extra 5-6cm of girth. Ar7's and Walls wouldn't be very far behind. Their all between 85-92 underfoot, and they all have stiffer flexes so they would be fine in some EC crud-pow.
