What board should I get?

Hello,
I`m an intermediate level rider looking for my first board. I`ve been riding crappy rental boards from my country till now and I decided to buy a board for myself, because the rentals are pretty bad boards, the edges are not good and you cannot have a stable ride at high speeds. By intermediate level I mean that I can carve a bit ( I had the bad luck of riding icy slopes since I started snowboarding and kinda got used to them :grin:), ollie and frontside 180* with tail butter. I can handle bigger speeds with good control and a good flexed stance now, as I progressed a lot. I was looking somewhere between Burton Custom and Burton Custom Twin.
Firstly, I liked the Burton Custom ( and was looking at the Flying V version more than to the camber one ), but found some negative reviews about it regarding edge hold and stability. I recently found out about the Twin and I heard that it`s a stable, agressive board at high speeds but also a good park board (mostly in jumps) and since I also like having a playful ride on the piste I thought that would be a good option too.
What should I choose?
