My first board -- what should it be?

I'm looking at Burton and K2, and both seem like solid companies for starter and end boards.

Right now i'm eyeballing the K2 Brigade and the Burton Bullet.

Anyone have other reccommendations for my first board? I will most likely use it for no more than 2 years, but will be shredding the mountain a lot.

thanks!

My budget is $350 or less for a board. I'm just trying to cruise and hit up a few jumps and maybe boxes here and there. Nothing too big.. won't be going crazy on the board doing flips n sh*t.
