I'm currently deciding between the Ride DH2 and Machete, and need some help on deciding which board to pick. I basically need a board that can do it all, but I'll be mostly be hitting up groomers and a few jumps too. I've read that the stiffness of the DH2 gives it a lot of pop for ollies etc and is very stable at high speeds, I'm not too worried about the ability to hit jibs since they aren't high on my priority.

My current specs are
Height: 6ft
Weight: 172lb
Boot: Size 10 Burton Ions

Also, what type of bindings would go well with the boards? I was looking at the Ride Capos but am open to any suggestions.

Thanks
