umm, you kind of just pulled a bunch of statistics out of you ass. for one, since when was armada a big company and dynastar a small one? if anything, it is WAY more likely that they sold alot more dynastars than armada. armada is a small company; sure its super popular on ns, but its still a small company. anyways, i think thats basically all of these companies make good skis, it really is just what you like. i know people who have had armadas who have held up for years with almost no problems, and people who have destroyed salomons within the first few days of skiing them.
