Good question "Which one do you prefer?", but impossible to answer with just one board.
Different boards shine in different conditions, and for different people/weights.
Being lightweight (around 70kg) and shortboard surfer, I love the smaller boards, particularly in punchy shorebreak. The SB7'11 literally flies, and the DC8'0 definitely the most challenging (Lacey and Billboard laughing themselves off their boards at me until I finally got on a wave) but well worth it. What a workout. The SB8'5, Coreban 9'6, and McT 9'0 stable and loose, the Laguna 8'6 stable, loose and fast. All of these good for late takeoffs/big drops. Think the DC 8'10, Garretts, Batwing and Lopez8'11 would be best on bigger, more hollow waves, the Garrett (9'4) gains massive speed and holds well. Sub Vectors are fast thru sections too. Different fin setups will increase a boards versatility for different conditions too, so the more options/boxes the better.
For cruisy point waves, the mid size boards are the goods, have had best sessions on 10'6 C4, and Ron house 9'6, and could set up a picnic table on the Whopper it was so stable.
At the end of the day it's all about the fun, or stoke factor, and if I had to choose one board only for everything, would most likely be the new Model 9'0x30"SB, as it seems the best all rounder for my size right now. Sure that will change within a week tho. Would prefer all of the above with right board for the day's conditions...Lacey is definitely right in the assumption that more than one SUP is needed to cover all bases well, and at the end of the day comes down to personal preference and what feels right. Sorry for hogging/hijacking the post, but answered only way I could honestly. Feel free to PM me with any more specific q's.
