Which ski??

I'm not sure which ski to buy, so please help me out with this one. I need a new park ski, and I'm riding mostly jumps, but also a few rails (we've only got two boxes). I've been considering Ar5s, T-Halls, Fujas, Invaders and maybe Scratch FS.
And one more thing, will a very park specific ski (i. e. Invader) wash out easily in landings?

thanks for help

For you i would get fujis, cheap, strong, and no park specific skis wont wash out on landings, they are made so they wont.

Oh I forgot to add my height/weight: 182 cm/67 kg.
I can get a pretty goo deal on STLs too, so now it's between:
T-Hall 181
AR5 181
STL 183
Invader 178

I would go with the AR5 since Fujative isn't one of your options.

Why AR5s over T-Halls? Arent T-Halls like more park? Just wondering. And I will detune the edges anyway, so thats not an argument

T-Halls are just too soft for jumps. Good for jibbing and stuff, but a lot worse than AR5s for jumps.
