What skis would be the best for me?

I need new skis for next season but I'm not sure what to get. I ski 90% park but still like to go all over the mountain. In the park I mostly hit rails but I defiantly want skis that will do fine on jumps because my goal is to learn some bigger tricks in the air. I would say that I'm a pretty advanced skier out of the park and intermediate in the park. I like soft skis so I can butter and be playful but I don't want skis that are so soft that I cant go super fast or land off a jump. I need really durable skis that will last because I'm not tryna get a new pair after one season, so that means no line skis because I had the chronics this year and they got shredded instantly. so if anyone knows any skis that fit those parameters just lmk.

edollo
give'rs
upper
key
wide
helix 98
poacher (reck has durability issues)
revolt 104
prodigy 2.0 (don't know much about)
bent 100

the list goes on but a little more info will help narrow it down. op what skis have you currently been riding/enjoyed in the past? do you ski east coast or west coast? have you ever skied some twigs more than 90mm? how big underfoot are you willing to go? imo 100mm is the sweet spot on the east coast especially if you want a one ski quiver

I skied the chronics and I liked them except for the fact that they got destroyed instantly. I ski east coast but I plan on going out west next season. I have tried 95mm and loved it. I am interested in surface skis but hesitant on the durability. I am also thinking about Vishnu but Idk which of their skis would be best for me. Lastly the edollos sound good but I don’t know much about them.
