Best bang for your buck board?

I'm new to snowboarding, have only been out once on a 2012 K2 Moment 150. I'm 5'9" and I weigh 135-140lbs. I'm looking to improve my general board handling skills of course, and my ultimate goal seems to be more park oriented in a sense. I really just want to get good at ollies and butter tricks and those sorts of things. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Rodney Mullen, he was my hero back in my skateboarding days.

I won't be able to get out to ride too much and so I'd prefer to spend as little as possible, but more important than straight up price is value for my money. I've done some research and I know there's so much to learn. Right now I'm thinking I'm going to want a relatively short (around 150) with lots of flex, a true twin shape to facilitate riding switch, and probably camber or some camber hybrid.

Currently I'm between a 2016 Capita Thunderstick and the Flow Chill, but am totally open to suggestions of boards that are excellent bang for my buck. I found both of the above online for about $350 shipped. I'm not opposed to previous model years and/or used.

Thanks in advance!
