I think long term it has to be a Cyclone. Dont think the Bernico weathers as well. But Phantom are still the best and will outlast all of them

Well there you have it, I think it is all down to your personell preference on which is best!
Some skier's and drivers prefer their hull's to others it's all based on personal opinions, I would suggest watching the boats at a couple of races to see which go through the water best, but remember the fastest boat is not necessarily the best for the skier.
Look for the boat that is quick but also provides a good wake to ski on.
Best of luck.
