do you want a symmetrical ski? do you want cap or sidewall? do you want fatter or more narrow? it's not as easy as ar6 v. anthem, i think that the ar6 will last longer, but that is reflected in the price, so ultimately it's up to you
anthemss. i had ar6s and the heelpiece ripped out and messed it all up. they were great skis while they lasted but anthems are beautiful. they press so nice and the extra width makes them nicer for everything. they ride very nice in reverse and are awesome.
i wouldnt get lines i have the invaders wich are reall just like the anthems but skinyer and they have way to much flex and they break easy u could only use them for one season you cant hold an edge u wash out alot!!!!
