You can't really just compare two companies. The opinions of people comparing the two companies will be based on their preferences on what type of ski they like (stiff, soft, playful, all mountain ski or park ski). Give us more depth into what exactly want out of your question and then someone may be able to help. And gear talk.

personally I would say that armada's stand up better then line. Both are good brands but with the jump in price from line to armada comes a jump in durability

The main difference is that Armada mostly makes higher end skis while Line makes price point skis too. Of course comparing something like the AR7 vs. the Afterbang won't make any sense because the Afterbangs cost significantly less. In my opinion if you're comparing something like the AR7 vs. the Chronic, it's impossible to say which one is better quality-wise.

My opinion is that if you forget about the cheapest Line skis (and they're not THAT bad either, but you get what you pay for), both of these companies make very good skis. I only have Line skis but I would have no problem buying Armada skis instead.

Armada skis are more durable. But if you're trying to buy a new pair of skis you should compare a ski from each company. Then you can get some more feedback from other NS'ers.
For example, the Armada JJ's compared to the EP pro's.
