I have a DH2 and use it all over the mountain. I'm fairly new to the sport still (4th year) so I'm still figuring out exactly what I enjoy doing best. I hit the smaller jumps, park, powder and enjoy buttering around too. I have a Lib-tech Skate Banana, Gnu Altered Genetics, K2 parkstar, Atomic Hatchet and 2 Liquid boards. So far, the DH is my favorite! It's a 156 wide. I'm 5'8" 180lbs. It's has just the right amount of flex for me for butters and park, but is super stable bombing down the mountain and jumps. My Skate Banana felt "squirelly" off jumps (same with my Gnu). My hatchet is my second choice. Mostly for jumping though as it seems much stiffer than my DH.
...but again, I'm new and don't have a ton of knowledge. This is just my experience with a variety of boards.
