t-halls are a buttery rail, jib and park ski. Pipe cleaners are a stiffer jump and pipe ski.

It really depends on if you want a stiff park ski, or a soft park ski.

pipe cleaners are gods gift to park skis, they are the best park skis i've ever been on. Super fast, super poppy, and they don't get damaged by rails moreso than other skis so don't listen to people who say that

i have heard that the bases dont hold up to rails as well. i have a pair unmounted in my room. i cant really tell a difference in the bases between them, my punx, bcs, and ar5s. i guess i will wait until next winter or this summer when i mount them to know for sure

Not really.  Pipe cleaners are exactly the same as ar6's just with a faster base.  Same core, same edges, and all that shit. 

And tj, my pipe cleaners seem to be quite stiffer in the tip than t-halls and about 1000000 times stiffer in the tails.  Overall, if you want a buttery ski, go with the t-halls.  If you want a stiffer park ski that holds up well in pipe and can also handle its own in an all mountain situation (besides pow, they suck in pow) get the pipe cleaners.  I love mine

The T-hall is extremly buttery ski...the pipe cleaner is pretty stiff but still fun to ride and do a little bit of butterying...it all depends on your stlye of sking if you do more jumps go with the pipecleaners there super fast with the race base..but if you do rails more then go with the T-halls.
