Line Chronic, Armada Alpha 1 or El Ray

So, my Atomic Punx 2011 skis are getting pretty beat up, and it's soon time to get new skis. Now I've narrowed my choice down to these three skis; Line chronic 2009-2010 in 171, Armada Alpha 1 176 or Armada El Ray 171. I'm looking for a decently light ski, but most importantly the most durable of the three. By the way I'm 5' 10" and weigh 130 pounds. I ski mostly rails, some jumps (70/30).
Oh, and k+ for helpful replies.

Dude go with the line chronics. They are such a reliable ski. Line really knows what they are doing in the park. They have perfect flex and good stability. My friend just bought Line rider Erick Olsen's chronics!!! Loves them!!!

the chronic is an all mountain ski that can still work it like a boss in the park.

Just to specify the Chronics are the 85mm underfoot ones. And can anyone compare the 2010 Chronics to Armada?

I believe that the construction has stayed the same over the years, so those chronics are as good as the current ones

The chronics are really east to break down.. First month i had mine the topsheet came off very easily. People look at my skis and think i've had them for several years when i only had them for about a few months.. They are a very good ski, but not too durable

Ended up getting alpha 1s and i thought top sheet damage didn't matter too much?
All times are Eastern (-4)
