Head because they are constructed so well... I rode Dynastar's this year, rode less than I usually do because I'm in my freshman year at college, and I blew the edge out on them. I never had a problem with my Heads and I rode them more than I did my Dynastars this season. As far as other companies are concerned, I've seen Armadas, Rossignols, and Lines delaminate and blow out edges. As for Head's, I've never seen it, so in my opinion, Head is where it's at.
